When God Says Move…You Sell Your House

So yes that’s a rather yuk-yuk pun. Just giving a little update as to the latest in the saga called my life. Oh, and don’t take that the wrong way, it was only ment in a rather sarcastic way. So on with it…I received my first offer on my house. It really isn’t what I’m hoping to get. The reality is if I was desperate I might take it, however that is not the case. I just can’t accept an offer that won’t give me the ability to actually make the move to Michigan. I know that it all needs to be left in God’s hands, and I’m not the greatest salesman, however I don’t really agree that I should intentionally take a hit on the sale and put God to the test. Frankly, we have been commanded not to put God to the test. In a way I guess the wait still continues. I’m planning on contact the first couple that looked at the house, to at least let them know that an offer has come in on the house. I might also try and contact this other couple from church that I’ve heard are looking for a house. I really just need to get a couple thousand more for the house and that would pretty much take care of all the expenses involved with moving. Well, it’s another late one so I’m going to leave things here for now.

    It’s Late…But a Couple of Updates.

    This is going to have to be short, I need to get ready for bed. Life’s been pretty great, but busy too. Vanessa and I have been busy planning wedding details and starting to get things ready at her place for me to move in. It’s tax season and I got my taxes all done and submitted last week. On the bad side my MN taxes are under review I guess, just got a not about it today. It doesn’t say that I’m being audited , but they sent me a questionnaire about my MI residency, perhaps they couldn’t believe that I’d think about moving to MI. πŸ˜› jk Last week my PowerBook was sent off to Apple for a little repair.

    Devotions for Sacred Parenting – Day 7: A Season of Sacrifice

    β€œOur kids, by their existence, make a legitimate spiritual claim on our time, our money, and our focus.” – Devotions for Sacred Parenting by Gary L. Thomas I was challenged today in how I approach being a Dad. Too often I choose to focus on everything but my kids. Our time is too short with our kids, and there will be years ahead when we will have all kinds of time to pursue other things. I will say that this is one of the reasons I wake up at 4am some days to get a run in as I make an effort to not let my running negatively impact my family. #parenting #sacrifice #responsibility

    A Big Thank You…

    Thanks guys for the encouragement & support. The reality is that not really any of the advice items you’ve said is something I didn’t already know, or haven’t told myself like a hundred times. This is why I had to get it all out in the open. I just need a lot of prayer in this area of my life. Like I said at the end this is something I’m needed to take to God everday. You know this topic of not going and looking, as it relates to relationships, I’m starting to have a little issue with. I would agree that yes you shouldn’t go looking under rocks for someone but there are circumstances I believe that change this. I think if my own…

    God’s Plans, My Hope

    For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord . β€œThey are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. – Jeremiah 29:11 NLT I know there will be good days and not so good days. There will be times that the future seems uncertain. Despite how things may seem I know that God has my future in mind and I can rest and rely on that hope.

  1. first of all: way to say “yuk-yuk pun.” that was amazazing

    Secondly: I’m sure God will work all this out for what’s best in your life. I can see you are really relying on Him and trying to follow His will. I’m praying for you Tim.

  2. Tim:
    I don’t know what to say about the news that you are moving to MI. I guess the last time we heard from you we found out about Vanessa and now you are thinking about moving where she is.
    You know what Tim, when the Lord puts a desire in your heart, he will take care of the rest. We like to see things moving fast, but I warn you, be very pacient because sometimes it takes time. But, we are glad to know what is happening with you so we can pray for your plans and for God’s will to be clearly shown to you.
    By the way, we saw Vanessa’s pictures. She’s pretty. Maybe someday we can see you and meet her. Tim, you are a great guy and you deserve a wonderful woman in your life. We hope things work out for good. Write back and let us know how are things going with work and the sell of the house.
    See ya,
    Flor
