We have one week left to sell our house. If we don't sell, we'll have to give up the new house. We are not hopeful, since even after lowering the price, its been eleven days since we've even had a showing. It is highly unlikely someone will buy it in the next 7 days.
I'm really sad.
I know in the grand scheme of things, this is not a big deal.
I know that things happen for a reason.
I know God is in control, working all things for His purposes, and for His glory.
I know we have a wonderful home now, we don't have to move, and we're lucky to have this house.
I know it could all change in a second, we just need one buyer, and with God all things are possible.
But I still feel sad. I'm trying really hard to be accepting of this, but I'm struggling. We really felt this was what we were supposed to do. We felt confident that this decision was the right one. We felt God's hand on this process…
Were we wrong? Why did God allow us to get so far into this process, only to see it fall apart now? What are we supposed to be learning in this?
About Melissa
I had so many of the same feelings last year when we had our house on the market for 6 months. I could not understand why God was keeping us there when I wanted to move closer to work, my parents and church. God has kept us there for a reason. Sometimes I wonder if it was to protect us from something and that we may never really understand the reason.
This may sound trite, but you could keep your house on the market and then find a new one once it sells… I’ll pray that it sells in the next week though!
I am sorry. We almost had to give up our house because of the banks, so I am feeling your pain on this.
Things do happen for a reason, and maybe the house you are meant to be in is just around the corner.
I will be hoping it sells, hoping someone falls in love with it.
I am so sorry to hear of this, I can almost feel your disappointment. There is still time to sell.
Its hard when we “know” God is in control and wants what is best for us but it doesn’t “feel” like it.
I will pray for you.
Poor girl. Don’t you wish we could know what God was trying to teach us as he’s teaching it? A prayer for you that God guides you through it, as I know he will. I’m glad he’s a God of feelings and hearts!
It will all work out. It will. And if it doesn’t work out right now, it still will later – a better house will be on the horizon, etc.
I so understand we also have our house on the market and really felt gods hand in it but nothing is happening and the house we really wanted doesn’t seem to be working out pricewise I am praying your house sells this we hang in there
