Wait on the LORD!!!

New Living Translation (©2007) Psalms 27:14 Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD. A few years ago I did a Beth Moore Bible study and the one thing that still stands out in my mind is what the Lord showed me about WAITING.  It really impressed me that when i am waiting I am to be waiting on the LORD, NOT the situation or outcome or the events before or after the answer is given to me.  Truly waiting on Him. We showed our home to a lovely young couple.  I was sure that the Lord brought them to us and that they were going to make an offer on our home.  I prayed before showing the house that the couple coming would be Christians (however I thought it highly unlikely for various reasons) .  Well guess what! they were Christians.  I really felt that the Lord was sending me some sort of sign to give me peace and let me know that they were the ones.  WELL! I was wrong.  the put an offer in on the house 2 doors down.  Our house is priced cheaper and we were willing to negotiate but they never even offered.  We have had a couple other calls but no other showings. Psalms 27:14 Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD. I am having a hard time with this.  I want to wait on the LORD and truly wait on HIM.  I want to focus on Him, His Word but I keep finding myself coming up with alternatives Just in Case our house doesn't sell.  My plan right now is to keep the For Sale by Owner sign on the lawn through the month of February.  I am really praying that the house sells through this method simply because once i offer commission to Realtors we will be losing money.  I am pretty tired of losing money.  We are completely upside down on our home in Clearwater, Fl.   All of our money is tied up in that house.  We scraped together a down payment to buy this house and if we hire a realtor our down payment will be gone.  The predicament then because that we wont' be able to buy a house in Miami.  I know the Lord knows what is best for our family and in His timing it will all work out (whether i like the outcome or not ) but I am just so anxious.  so many unknowns and decisions to make. I want to sell the furniture and other things around our house but I know a furnished house shows better.  So do I sell it now and have an empty house for the showings or do I wait and risk possibly not being able to sell the things in the house in the allotted time? I am so nervous that I began to think that perhaps if the house hasn't sold by end of April then i would list it for rent (I really, really DON'T, want to rent it out).  It also occurred to me that perhaps if the house hasn't sold by June when we move to Miami then I would leave all the furniture and everything else so the house shows better.  I can always come back and pack once a offer came in.  however, then what would i do with all the furniture.  I would have to move it all and I don't want to do that.  as you can see my mind is going non stop.  I woke up at 3am and could not go back to sleep.  I want to trust the Lord but I have to be honest I am struggling.  so here is my plan (i will continue to pray and if the Lord prompts us to change our current plan of action, then we certainly will). February- FISBO sign in the yard (my preferred means of sale) March and April- List the house on the MLS and offer a buyers agent commission.    May- List the house for rent and sale.  whichever comes first, we will have to take. JUNE - We will move from my spacious dream home to Miami and leave an empty home. Not sure where we will live but the one promise I can hang on to is that the Lord will provide for our needs. He will supply us with clothing, food and shelter so I don't need to worry.  It may be uncomfortable, I may not like it and the situation may not be the situation that i always dreamed of but never the less we will be in His Hands. I am thankful that this is the worst thing that is happening to us, there are much worse things.  I have a healthy Family and am free to worship God without persecution what more can i ask for. Lord we are following your call on our lives please reveal yourself to us.  Let us see you moving and working this thing out.
