Letting Her Go

No, I'm not letting my wife go, she's way too good to me. What we are letting go of is the house that we were supposed to have moved into in March. To catch you all up, we put our house up for sale in December and had it sold by early February under the impression (what was told to us by the sellers) that we would be able to get into the newly remodeled home sometime in March. March came and went. April did the same. May chose to be a copycat.

So here we are in June still without a house. We've been so fortunate to have friends from our church that have let us stay in the back side of their house that is an apartment on its own with a separate entry. But all our stuff is still in storage and its pretty hard to bring a newborn home to a place that isn't home.

So here's the update. We just heard from the sellers again this past Monday and they are now saying the house will likely be ready for possession in August. Well, pretty sure that's not going to cut it. I'm going to take the high road in this post and just say that we are not pleased with the sellers and this whole situation.

So we've let it go. We are no longer working with this couple and will be moving on. We feel that by hanging on to the house we still have a backup plan, which gives us a little bit of control over the situation. We want to hand it over to God and allow Him to guide us. So that's the scoop. Pray that we'll follow God in all our decisions especially this one.

Wow, that is tough. I hope that the transition goes as well as possible. You will be in my prayers.
