House Stuff

We had more bad news on the housing front this week. Late Monday our deal with the potential buyers fell apart. I am still reeling a little and just not really sure what to say or do. Thanks to all of you who have called, emailed, or stopped me around town to give words of encouragement. If I was short or didn't return your calls promptly please excuse my bad manners. I am still wallowing in self pity at the moment. I swear I could see the end in sight only to have it ripped away.

Life just doesn't always go as planned does it?

Let me warn you that I am extremely self absorbed right now and just really sad. Something such as this probably shouldn't warrant this response but as of right now that is all I've got.

I muddled through getting the house back on the active market today and David and decided to reduce it a significant amount to try and garner interest. Hopefully tomorrow I should have it in shape to show again.

I am also upset that we will most likely have to pull the contract on the house we love in Houston before our option ends. What else can we do?

And I confess that I feel guilty feeling like this over a couple of houses and a hundred or so miles. I have whined, complained, and begged God to make this easier when in all reality there are far worse situations in life that others are asked to endure.

My selfishness lies in the fact that I am not bending to God's will very easily. So if that means giving up MY perfect house for HIS perfect plan I am ready. There will be some tears and moments of anger but I am only human and He will love me anyway. Thank God for that.
