Peace

We have been living with friends a long time (since the last week of January), while waiting for our house to sell in Hawaii. Ten, or so, years ago, I would have been on the phone with the Realtor every other day trying to figure out what was happening. What I could do to speed up the process. What I could control.

Now, at this point of my life, I've been content to wait. To not talk about it every day. To be content where I am. To just be. To be at peace.

Thank you LORD for that peace.

We rode a little roller coaster this last weekend when the escrow officer thought we would close on the house this week, only to find out on Tuesday that it wouldn't be for another 2 weeks or so. I almost wanted to jump on the roller coaster permanently and start obsessing over every detail and getting stressed out. But I'm choosing to step off. The house in Hawaii will sell, eventually. And we will purchase this great house here in Washington, eventually. But until then, I'm going to relax ,hang out, enjoy the ride, and just be....at peace.

By the way - Have I mentioned how extremely thankful I am for the friends that let us just live with them??? They are awesome! And hey after living with each other for 3+ months we are all still friends, praise GOD!

God is working on my heart....

I'm listening to God's voice trying to discern what direction I am supposed to be moving. Thank you for your prayers to God on my behalf. I'll let you know soon what I'm thinking.

We are trying to be pateint while we wait for our house in Hawaii to close (May 15th) and then for us to close on our house here in Washington (May 20th). We are still so thankful to our great friends that have let us stay in their home for oh so long.... We will actually miss each other when we are gone and if we could we may think about making it permanent.... We have actually liked it that much.
