The waiting game

Our house is officially on the market - it has been for almost 2 weeks. We have had 3 "potential" interested parties, but nothing came out of that. They never even looked at the house. However on Wednesday, our realtor called and said there is a couple that wanted to come look at our house. They were already pre-approved and apparently were serious about moving rather quickly. They made an appointment to look at it last night, so Jon, the girls, Kristen, and I went out to dinner. I was really hoping we would hear something back from our realtor last night, but nothing. Here it is almost noon the next day, and nothing. I am thinking that's not a good sign. I would think if you really liked the house you saw, you would hurry up and say something. I have to smack myself because I know I'm not being very patient. You WANT people to WANT your house though. For me, waiting to hear if something came out of a showing is like waiting to find out if you're pregnant, or in my case, how many are in there! I am such an impatient person when it comes to getting what I want, and I know that's a huge vice of mine. I wish I could just wave a magic wand and be different, but nope. That's how I've always been. I keep saying I need to trust God in everything...I just gotta DO IT! It's just so hard when we only have 6 weeks left to try and sell our house, or the house we want will slip through our fingers. Please pray with me...

Lord, I know that You have our best interest at heart. You ultimately know where we will be happy. I pray for patience, wisdom, and for a stronger faith. I give all my worries and doubt to You. I know You will take care of them and I thank You for EVERYTHING You have blessed us with in our lives lately. You hold us in the palm of Your hand and we are nothing without You.

In Jesus' name...Amen.
