-The quiet before the storm-

I should of been looking at this time as the quiet before the storm.

We had our home on the market for just under 1 week when we received an offer, we counter offered waited a day and got an acceptable offer on Sunday. Normally we wouldn't discuss business on the Sunday its the Lords day, but given or situation we had till Monday at 5:00 to get everything discussed then signed both here and there then in.

We truly feel the Lords hand in our lives right now. We have been blessed so much. Which really helps. I have always been near my family. I love them dearly. They are what makes leaving the area so difficult. But the Lord has been patient with us, giving us 5 months to prepare to leave and now it is time.

Tonight the boys and I were reading our scriptures and I read 1Nephi 15:11 It reads....Do ye not remember the things which the Lord hath said? -If ye will not harden your hearts, and ask me in faith, believing that ye shall receive, with diligence in keeping my commandments, surely these things shall be made known unto you.
This spoke to me, it gives me hope. We had been praying and fasting that this would all take place quickly, the people that are buying our home want to be in, in 3 weeks. That's really quick.
We put an offer in on a home in Twin Falls we should hear from them tomorrow, whether we get it or not. I guess there were a few offers put in with ours. I have to put that scripture to work again in my life. I do know that if it is where we are suppose to be the Lord will provide a way, and if not then we will find something different somewhere else.

Oh and Mandy....My luck with the bed wetting phase didn't last. I think it was a bad thing now. He didn't wet the bed the day we actually got the offer. WHAT WAS I THINKING???

??The Waiting Game??

We put our home on the market, Saturday was the first day and the first showing. Good news at first came from this showing!! The couple were suppose to put an offer in Monday afternoon.!!The wife loved our home but the husband has some hesitation. Due to that hesitation the offer has not been put in yet. I'm not giving up on them yet. Then again it is being shown again today to some different people.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. We as a family have fasted and prayed over this matter and feel good about it. However I have struggled making this decision. We have so many people that are so special to us. Not to mention most of my Family are here but so many dear friends also. It breaks my heart to think of leaving. Until finally, Sunday at church I had an overwhelming feeling that I am done here, it's time to go. I feel as though a burden has been lifted and it truly is time to go.
Monday the excitement of a possible offer on our home, made me think of how the Lord works and the answer to so many prayers. Yes it didn't work out for this couple yet but it will. I have to have faith in the Lord and leave it in his hands. Although I have always struggled with faith, I am doing my best.

I was just thinking .......Both times we are or have showed our home Casen has wet the bed. This is very unusual for him, he never has accidents. Normally I would get a little frustrated with this, but it seems to work so bring on the pee.=)
