A personal note…

If you’re a regular reader, you know that in early July we moved from our house of 19 years in Monument, Colorado, to a one-level townhouse in Colorado Springs, about 20 minutes south of where we were. Everything has gone well EXCEPT we’re still waiting to sell the Monument house.

We had an offer come in on July 30, but it was contingent on the buyer selling their house in the Phoenix area. September 12 was a go/no-go decision point. The Phoenix house has not sold so that offer is gone for now, and the Monument house is back on the active market effective yesterday.

We’ve been praying for:

• The right buyer
• The right price
• The right time

That prayer continues, and we wait, a common posture for God’s people. God acts on his timetable, not mine!

Hear my prayer, O LORD, And let my cry come to You. Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble; Incline Your ear to me; In the day that I call, answer me speedily. (Psalm 102.1, 2, NKVJ)

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD! (Psalm 27.13, 14, NKJV)

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. (James 5.7, 8, NKJV)

For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise. (Hebrews 10.36, KJV)
