I am feeling pretty fried right now. Several weeks ago we decided to start the process of finding a new place to live. Not that our current home is bad but just because it is the time to do so. As I think I stated before, we want to trade bedroom space for living space.
The process is emotionally intense and frustrating. 3 times we have "found the one" only to discover that it wasn't. The reasons are complex. Once the house was affordable but the utilities and taxes would have killed us. One time the builder just wouldn't deal. Once we actually put down a deposit only to pull back at the last minute because it just didn't feel right.
The second half of the equation, of course, is selling OUR house. I did a lot of minor repair/touch up work (missed a couple items I need to take care of this weekend). We have hidden away a lot of the personal items and run around the house straightening and cleaning every time we leave to go anywhere. The whole thing is certainly an exercise in trusting God. There is very little about the process that is actually under our control. Letting go of all of it and keeping my hands off is very difficult. If you get the chance, please pray that we find the right house to buy and that God brings the right people to buy our house.
