Well, the process is certainly moving along. Last night, after having our house on the market for a month, we got an offer--it is laughable--so much less than what we bought it for 9 1/2 years ago. Sad, really! So, since our house is up for short sale, we are just sending the offer on to the bank to see what they say. If all goes without too many issues, we could be closing at the end of December.
Yup! At the end of December, we could be homeless…well, not really. Thankfully, my dad has said that we can stay at his house for a while. It really makes no sense for us to try to rent a place knowing that we could be moving this summer. Come May, then we can cross that bridge…
So, how am I feeling? Actually, I am at peace and am so grateful to be home and teaching Evan and William. I am fulfilling my calling, and it is a beautiful place to be. I am so grateful to no longer be suppressed by the world's view of motherhood, and instead I feel so liberated. The sacrifices we are making to return to biblical living is worth it all. My husband is so supportive and strong, but he is anxious. He is struggling with not knowing what the future holds and is ready to be working at a college or university. This has been a long process--he started his doctoral studies over 8 years ago, and now it is almost a year since he earned his doctorate. It was certainly hard-earned.
Right now, we have no idea what God is working behind the scenes, but we know that He is in control. He is so good, and His providence is clear. We continue to trust and follow His lead--there is no better path.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3: 5-6
