I had no idea that selling a home would be so stressful and emotionally draining. I have definitely learned a lot about myself in the process. It is so easy to get discouraged about no offers when it feels like time is running out. Through my selfish thinking and frustration I was reminded of God's truth from none other than my amazing sister.
For the past few days my sister stayed with us while my parents were out of town. Through phone calls from our Realtor about prospective buyers backing out and the stress of the April 30th tax credit ending soon, I continued to get very frustrated. Through tears, Kleenex and asking the questions "why?", my sister reminded me that God is in control, that discouragement and frustration are not going to do any good. It is so easy to forget the promises of our Savior when we are caught up in what isn't working, instead of looking at the things that we have been blessed with and being thankful for what we do have. As hard as it is to remember those promises, when we do there is such a peace. A peace that can only come from Him.
With all this said, it is still a daily struggle to give the house to Him, but when I do... life becomes much more manageable. My sister is such an inspiration to me and so many, through her eyes, things seem so simple.
When you think of it, say a prayer for me to continue trusting that our Savior and His perfect timing as well as His plan for the selling of our home!
