For Sale!

 

I took these from my car this morning.

I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Jeremiah 29:11*This verse is what comes to mind when I think about whether or not, a move is in our future.  If only I could know the answer right now...I was born without patience ;) 

We decided to put our house up for sale about a week and a half ago!  I have been dragging my feet on this for a very long time, while Shane has wanted to attempt selling the house for quite some time.  I bawled my eyes out when the for sale sign went up! I sometimes feel like all the stars are aligned for us to move. 
*Shane's parents so graciously offered for us to move in with them if we sell(very kind!)
*We have a great house/yard, in super good condition, and have taken really good care of it!
*Great neighborhood
*Good location, so easy to get to most places, 5 min away from Target and other handy stores, & coffee shops.
*Cul-de-sac, park in our neighborhood that's a block away
*AND, my husband helped build this house, so it's bulletproof(just kidding, but he is REALLY good at what he does!)

On the flip side of those things, I know that the market is still SO unpredictable, and the economy still weak/messy!  Now, we just have to WAIT and see what the Lord has in store for us.  There is NOTHING that I don't like about our house.  I actually love this house, and am very attached to it!  So many memories have been built here.  Especially for the kids.  However, we are going to outgrow it, and fast!  We really do need an extra bedroom and a few other things.  Not to mention, Shane has an opportunity to build again, so if we could do it, it's ideal and perfect for us!  At the same time, if we're meant to stay here, we'll be okay with that too.  I will have to have a garage sale and get rid of lots and lots of "things" to make more room.  It will definitely be a tight squeeze over the years.  I am used to that though, I grew up in a family of 7 and there was a point when we lived in a house with 1 bathroom for all of us(and no dishwasher, bless my mothers heart!)  So I am familiar with having to make things work with what I have been given.  In time(hopefully short time,) we shall see what our housing situation looks like =)  We could use prayer on this one!
