"God, Please sell our house..."

God has blessed us with a great house. We're thankful for it and have enjoyed it much. We're learning a lot about the fact that earthly possessions are just that- earthly, temporary, and lacking in ETERNAL value. That doesn't mean it is necessarily any easier from a human standpoint to face all the adjustments that moving entails. We're moving away from what is comfortable...away from a place that holds memories of our two children coming into the world...away from a place that we've fixed up and made our own. BUT, we're moving to a place where we are anticipating God working towards something that will have value for eternity- changed lives in a community where new churches are needed. Pray with us that we can live Matthew 6:19-21 as we walk through coming days.

Pray also with us that God will release us from this burden. We trust His timing and His perfect plan. Yet, as we look ahead, the obstacle to moving, to getting started with the important work God has given us, to knowing our financial position, etc. is our house. Our time schedule and financial picture would be much more clear if we knew our house was sold. We want to get to work as early as possible in January...please pray that God would bring the right buyer at a fair price and strategic time.
