Decisions, Decisions

Have you ever made a decision and then immediately after felt sick about it? Or maybe have a sense of dread about the whole situation? Some decisions cannot be undone and you have to live with the consequences. Others you are able to change your decision before any finality can take place. It certainly doesn't make life easier, does it?

I recently have been faced with a decision and we thought we had made the right one. But every time I think about it I just have no sense of peace. The decision hasn't been finalized yet so we can change our minds but that means other decisions. Some of you know I have been trying to sell our house in MWC. We have been paying two house payments since Eric's grandma died two years ago this month. We had a renter for awhile but that didn't work out because of our type of mortgage. I recently fired my realtor because I didn't feel she was working for me. I interviewed two other Realtors and both agreed that I probably couldn't get what I wanted for the house and would need a large amount of closing costs in the end. So, my husband and I talked and prayed and decided we would move back to MWC and sell the other house. I am not sure we were really listening to God though because every time I thought about moving and our dogs and all of our stuff I felt a sense of dread. Even when I was thinking of good things like I would be closer to work and school there was just never a sense of peace. So I started praying again. I talked to some family members. I had them pray with us. Then I emailed one of the Realtors we had met with. Even though he doesn't think we can get quite what we owe on it, he does think it could sell. I feel at peace with listing the house again. Eric and I talked this morning and we are going to be tightening our belts even more than before to come up with as much closing cost money as possible and IF I have to I will get a loan for the remainder...any way it goes God will provide.

This house had been a cause of stress for me and for us for far too long. It is a great little house but we have our reasons for wanting to stay in the other house. It will make a great starter house for a young couple just starting out or for a retired couple wanting to downsize. If anyone knows of anyone looking for a house in the MWC area leave me a message with an email in the comments and I will send you the information (once we have everything taken care of with the realtor tomorrow.) And I am going to ask a favor from anyone reading this: please pray that it will sell relatively quickly. My sanity may depend on it.
