God Help Us

We made an offer on a house. The seller accepted. I'm really scared.



A week ago, we found a house we really like. We looked at many more houses, but our minds kept coming back to this one house. Geo and I prayed daily about this venture, and asked for specific things to happen if this was the house we were to have. And things happened. We're stepping out on faith.

When we were praying, I thought of the scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where Indy takes the step into seeming nothingness and finds a stone bridge. Stepping out in faith. That's us. We're still waiting for our house in Ohio to sell. But "coincidentally" our realtor in Spfld. said that someone was going to look at the house today. God help us, because we can't do this on our own.

I also think of izhilzha's and whitemartyr's images of running with The Doctor. Just taking his hand and going, trusting him to take care of us.

I'm excited and exhausted and scared. I'll get home and this will all feel like an impulsive dream that isn't really happening. The stress is messing with my skin (I really need to see an endocrinologist, I think). But I want to enjoy the adventure. God help me.



We head back home tomorrow. We're planning to have an open house on Sunday. Thank you for your prayers.

ETA: Many thanks to kalquessa for letting me snag the icon. (I credited it in my userpix, but it occurs to me that I should give her proper props here, too.) :-)

Try not to be anxious; it sounds like everything's falling into place. God knows what He's doing. :)

Thank you very much for the encouragement. :-) It's kind of scary to see requests come to pass like this. God does know what He's doing. I just need to stay out of His way.

But I want to enjoy the adventure. God help me.

If you're asking him, he will! :-) I know it. Lately I've been learning that half the issues I have would be resolved if I'd just quit trying to handle it solo and rely on him, ask him for aid, more and more.

I'm praying for your peace, and for your house to sell. I shall email more later (I just saw the cool pictures).

Thanks so much for your prayers. In a lot of ways, this has been a good thing, as Geo and I have prayed together daily. I think I'd be okay praying with you over the phone now. :-)

Please pray especially for Geo's peace. He's feeling a lot of pressure from this, probably because we're doing this for his career. We've had it very easy in Springfield and moving into the "real world" is a daunting prospect. Will write more later when I'm home.

And yes, the house is pink. Sort of. It's paler than the pix might imply.

Thank you! Yes, it is very exciting. :-)
