So, of our "two good possibilities" houses, one already has a sale pending and the other is in short sale, with the net/net that it would be 60-120 days before it could be closed on. So we're on to the next two "good possibilities."
I woke up in the night asking, "Why did You give our house to someone else??" and "But I will trust You."
And I remembered the passage in Luke 5 where Jesus tells Peter to cast his net in the water, even though Peter has been fishing all night and caught nothing. Despite the fact that Peter is a professional fisherman, he does what Jesus asks, and the catch is so large that it starts sinking both his boat and that of his buddies. Peter leaves the catch of his life and falls at the feet of Jesus, uttering an acknowledgement that Jesus is more than human, and that Peter has no business being in the same space with Him. And (I think Jesus is laughing here) Jesus says, "Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." And Peter leaves everything and follows Him.
May it ever be so, Lord Jesus!
