I started writing about this a couple of nights ago. It was extremely long-winded and incomplete. Henry was exhausted just listening to me read my intro to him for his approval.
Now, I've ditched the previous post and I'm going to attempt a bullet-pointed piece that will hit the highlights and you'll just have to ask me to expound if you want to know more.
*September 10th was the one year anniversary of our house being for sale.
*We put the house up for sale so we could move into a house with a smaller house payment, a smaller drive to all things, and a smaller bunch of expenditures (like neighborhood associations.)
*We have wrestled with God about whether or not this was the right thing to do.
*We have wrestled with God about why He hasn't sold the house when we feel He asked us to be obedient in marketing it.
*We have been blessed with the spiritual process of waiting and trusting.
*We have gained a freedom in exhausting all human means of selling this house.
*We have experienced awesome bonds in friendship with others who are praying with and for us.
*We have great confidence in God's plan and anxiously await the end result of this adventure.
Seriously, I could write volumes more about this. I could go into great detail about the spiritual and emotional ups and downs. I could list out all the amazing experiences with people (especially my awesome parents!) and situations we've had over this past year.
It's been a journey, no doubt. It's still a journey.
God is the Alpha and the Omega. Things start and end with Him. Time is in His hand.
I love His provision and I love Him for revealing Himself in new ways. I'm thankful for His mercy as He is teaching us incredibly valuable truths and is strengthening our marriage, our resolve, and is encouraging us to persevere. I thank Him for answering my prayer for faith-strengthening in such a loving and gentle way.
I love you, LORD and I worship You!

Maybe you won't know why you had to go through all this for a while, then it will be clear. I think the time you got to spend with your parents is invaluable. (Even if y'all might have driven each other crazy at times, huh?) HA.
Stacy, I look forward to reading the great ending of this story (and I'm sure that will be very soon.) God's plan is bigger and better than we can imagine. Hold on, girl....the best if yet to come.
