Decisions, Decisions

I have never been really good with making decisions. Usually, I just make the one that takes the least amount of effort on my part. I'm not proud to say that, but unfortunately, that's the way it usually works out. In the next two or three weeks, Rusty and I have some major decisions to make in regards to our house in Ft Myers. The house has been on the market for more than a year and to be honest, has pretty much drained any and all margin in our lives. It has been both emotionally and financially taxing for both of us. What was once was my favorite place in the world, a place where I felt safe and secure and a place that Rusty and I had made into a home for our family, has become such a burden. I guess there are a few options on the table for us right now - foreclosure, bankruptcy, short-sale or continuing the road we are on right now... None sound like much fun....

Please be praying for us.... We truly want to bring glory to our heavenly Father in all we do, but no margin, is no way to live. Pray that the Lord will place the right people in our paths and that we can be patient and not, in a hurry, make a decision that's outside of God's will. Pray that we will continue to give and not hold tightly, out of fear, to what is not ours to begin with. Pray that God will show us, with crystal clear clarity, the doors in which to walk through.

Oh, I understand and we will be praying for you. Our realtor wants us to lower the price of ours, but it won't matter because of the price bracket it's in. We're stressed too and ready to sell. We're still living out of boxes with no stove about 40 minutes from the school and 20 from the church....
AHHHH!!! Keep us posted on what you decide. Pam and Gerald are moving to Indiana next month and they have the same concerns only NO mortgage.....so, they're renting to Sarah until it sells.
