Okay, so I've done an abysmal job of keeping up on here. I won't even waste your time or my breath explaining. It's just life. But, I would appreciate extra prayers on our behalf. Our house deal has a major glitch and may unravel completely this week. It appears that there's not much we can do about it. (i.e., We are not the problem.) Currently, the bank is scheduled to foreclose on the 15th, unless it can be resolved before then. So, either the Lord will move in a wondrous way and enable us to stay, or He'll move in a wondrous way providing something else. Needless to say, we are a bit daunted by the prospect of another move, but we are not going down the road of that possibility too far yet - no need to borrow tomorrow's worries. Hmm. Seems like I've run across that idea before....
Meanwhile, we've continued to settle in, meet people, prep for school and find our way around. Yesterday we joined a group who went in to Salem and fed homeless folks who were camped out under a bridge. That was terrific. And a privilege. No one should go hungry.*********
"Patience is the fair handmaiden and daughter of faith; we cheerfully wait when we are certain that we shall not wait in vain...Our faith will be tried faith...We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us."
~ C. Spurgeon
"For You and You only and altogether do I wait expectantly, all the day long." Ps 25:5
It's not something for a season, but they are operating instructions for a life time. We are waiting on God. We are choosing patience. We are trying to stay in a place of faith.
*********Here's Day 2 of our trip west - well, a peek at it.
Marion, Indiana to Council Bluffs, Iowa. A long day, across a beautiful, rolling state.Where farming reigns: 
More specifically, corn: 
And, energy is garnered by the wind: 
And the sky is large and beautiful.

But, again, I'd love it if you sent me a message telling me your news.

Thinking of you and your family.
Oh, dear, Trish -- the idea of moving again so soon doesn't sound like a happy one. But it's easier to find that house that fits when you are there and can see it in person, and hopefully you can settle in easily. It sounds as if you have found your place, though, as far as community is concerned, and are meeting lots of people -- my thoughts and good wishes are with you!!!
@Lucy_or_Ethel -
Thanks, Nancy!
I pray it will all work out and you will get to stay in the house you are in.
@Ponder_ing -
Thank you so much.
@slmret -
I'm still hoping for an 11th hour solution! I'm not packing yet!
@i_was_there_and_back_again - If it doesn't work as a short sale by the 15th, can you then buy it out of foreclosure after that date? Hmmm -- the bank might up the price to include the full mortgage and the foreclosure costs, but would they be able to get that? Can you continue to rent there while that all gets worked out? Oh, my goodness -- 'tis a puzzlement! Will be thinking of you as you go through all of that!
I will pray about the house situation. I know you are MORE than ready to settle in and be done with all that!
Always the incertainty until the end ,Trish . I hope you can stay in the present house .
A second move would be exhausting . I wish time went soon when you will be able to have your home .on solid basis.
Thanks you for your kind words for janine . we always are waiting the results of the biopsy but we are confident.
Love
Michel
praying for you housing situation Trish. Love to see the photos here!
@slmret -
There's a chance we could get it at foreclosure, but we think they'd make us move out....go through all the red tape....and then we'd move back in. Impractical, to say the least. No idea what's going to happen at this point.
@DanishDoll -
Thanks, Mae. So true.
@fauquet -
Thanks, Michel. Be sure and let me know when you get the results!
@ABAHM -
Thanks, Jenny. More photos to come!
My prayers for you and your family will continue. We're fine. Well, if you read today's blog, it won't sound like it. But, we've "survived" the past week! LOL!
Yikes, I can't trust the xanga subscription service to tell me when you post, so I decided to come find you! I'm enjoying hearing about your trip and how you're getting along. Even though we've never met, you feel soooo far away! Oh, I do pray this house situation resolves for the better.
@TheChickadeeFeeder -
You are so sweet....and we are soooo far away!
