Changes and Confusion

Just last evening, my family got the news that the Merrickville house has just been sold to someone else.

It was the house that we've been trying to buy for a year and a half now. My parents have always wanted to live there, and felt called to go ahead and make the offer. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to sell our current house, and so have been stuck with the pressure of legal battles.

Near the end, the situation simplified itself into one simple (and difficult) matter of trusting God. If He wants us to move to Merrickville, then He will provide a way. And, well, our chance and dream has ended with the close of the estate.

We are still on the verge of losing our current house, but we are confident that God is now keeping us here for a reason. My family and I are still not entirely sure what that reason is, but we're excited to find out.
