Options, options...

The word of the day here is Options....

WOW....I wanted a quick answer, but I never felt like it would be this quick. We put our house on the market a week ago today. On Friday, on my way to see our precious new one, I got a call from J saying we would have an offer with in 2 hours. Really? I wasn't ready. It came in and after less than 24 hours of negotiating, we had a contract on our house, which moved it from active on the market to option pending. Ummmmm...I am now with child and potentially without a house.....

Options, Options, Options....
The big question is where to now? The cloud is moving, but the cloud hasn't moved in a particular direction. Where do we look? Where do we go? Holy smokes - what did we just do?

The cool thing to me was just last week in my Bible study we studied Jesus the Good Shepherd and that His sheep know his voice. I told J, that is so encouraging to me. It was a good reminder that if I will still myself, listen and tune out the world, that I, as a sheep, know and can hear my shepherd's voice. He is always out there, leading, guiding, lighting the path. We shall see what He provides and where He provides it.

The verse that we have had for our purchasing a house - both this one and the new one - is Acts 17:26-27
26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us
