Moving Again!

So.....we are moving again!  

The Initial Plan - We are struggling a bit with our finances, so we have decided to sell our house.  We moved into my dad's house in November, while we fix up and sell our house.  My dad is getting married (no date set) and plans to be moving in with his fiancée soon.  Sometime between now and the wedding my dad was going to sign the house over to me and we would take over the remainder of the mortgage (but pay rent to him until he signs the house over).  David and I thought we would take some of the money we made from selling our house, fix up dad's house and sell that one too.  When we sell dad's house, our plan was to split the proceeds with my two brothers (who still live at my dad's house and will obviously be on their own when the house is sold).

So we moved in very quickly to dad's house so that David could hurry and get our house ready to put on the market.  The house is still not ready and we still have a lot of work to do at dad's to get it semi organized.  Everywhere I look, there is just so much to do and I am constantly overwhelmed....but still determined to plug along thinking we have time to really go through all our stuff and start really purging.  Unfortunately - plans have changed.

Change of Plan - I don't want to go into the details - but a couple of days ago, my dad drastically changed the deal of signing over the house.  David and I have spent a lot of time discussing our options and we have talked about it with my brothers as well (since our decision directly effects them as well).  We all agreed that it isn't worth it for us to take over the house anymore.  I am relieved that they feel the same way I do because I don't want to damage our relationships in the process.

I still don't know how everything is going to play out but I do know we are moving again!  I am so grateful to have God on my side! In moments where I feel completely overwhelmed and stressed, I am learning to turn to Him more.  I very much struggle with letting my best be enough and leaving the rest to God.  "Lucky" for me, God gives us numerous challenges and opportunities that can grow us in our faith.  

Much Love,
