Derek and I got this email from our realtor this morning:
"Well....I'm kinda dumbstruck about ya'lls home! It has only shown a few times in the last two weeks. If you are really serious about what you told me last time we talked "do whatever to get it sold" then think about listing it at the lowest you possibly will go and let's see what happens. "
Well, the house is already at the "lowest we can possibly go" so this is very discouraging news for us. It's kind of funny the timing because Derek and I just had the conversation last night that we both have a peace that it will sell before we need to make living plans in July. Funny how Satan knows the exact time to swoop in and steal every bit of peace we have prayed for over the past 7 months.
I called Derek after receiving the email and he was still at home because he has a dentist appointment this morning. When he recieved the email he was reading in Matthew 6 and right when he finished the email he looked down at Matthew 6:25, "DO NOT WORRY." I love how the Lord continually encourages me through my husband. I was reminded that it does not matter how much Satan tries to discourage us through emails, phone calls, the failing economy, the constant question, "have ya'll had any luck selling your house?", the Lord knows the exact date our house will sell and no matter how much we worry, it will not change that date. Thank you Lord for sanctification and for teaching us long suffering while we wait and pray and wait and pray and wait....
