Yes/No... Yes/No
How many times have you made a decision that your head was telling you yes, but your heart was telling you no? I have had this happen more times than I would like to admit. More recently with maybe one of the biggest decisions of my families life...
We have been trying to sell our house since Thanksgiving and have had pretty decent traffic, but not one single bite and to be honest not even a sniff. In the meantime we have had nothing but trouble with a particular realtor company that not only mislead us, but lied to us. Needless to say we have during the the process started to build a house because of the the misleading of this company. Well this house we are building will be completed in about 6 or 7 weeks and a few weeks ago we decided to move regardless of whether we sell our house or not and now we know that it was a decision most likely based on emotion and are now seeing that it really isn't an option.
I can't tell you how frustrating and disappointing it is to watch a house that you picked out go up, walk through the house meet with the contractor and just know deep down it most likely will never be yours. Last weekend we let the kids walk through it with us and they were so excited and I think I am more hurt for them. I find myself thinking about who might end up it that house and the memories they will create in a house that we had put our heart in. It truly hurts...
I have pleaded with God to sell our house. We have done everything we can do to sell it. I am at a lost as to why. Sometimes things happen in our lives that we do not understand or maybe we are so blinded by what is in front of us that we can not see the other side, I honestly do not know which of the two I am facing. What I do know is God knows...
God I pray that whatever it is I am suppose to learn from this I learn. I want with everything in me to sell this house and move into our new home and enter into the next stage of our lives. God I need you to help me with my frustration and anger during this process and above all help me keep my eyes on you.... Amen.
