My h...Keeping you and your family in my prayers...<br /><br />My husband and I are waiting for God to say "Yes" to a homestead. We believe we are meant to homestead, but are in no position at this time to take the necessary steps. <br /><br />We. Are. On. Hold. <br /><br />But, one thing we keep trying to remind ourselves: When we are waiting on God, we have all the time in the world...<br /><br />Of course, it doesn't mean that it isn't hard to wait! <br /><br />God bless!The Paisley Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158336855459343672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-22811563237595135862013-08-22T11:57:12.536-05:002013-08-22T11:57:12.536-05:00?!?!?!?!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-4881867103683192882013-08-22T09:19:02.673-05:002013-08-22T09:19:02.673-05:00And the next 24 hours will drag on and later, when...And the next 24 hours will drag on and later, when you look back, you'll see they were but a blurred blip.<br /><br />When i put an offer on the house in my current location, i did it "wrong," by deciding on a price i was willing to pay (thought of a number, prayed about it, went to sleep that night, woke up next day, and that number felt like the right one) and made the offer. I had decided i wasn't going to counteroffer. I hadn't said anything to my RE agent about it, but knew within myself it was take it or leave it.<br /><br />The then-owners of the house took it, and that was that.<br /><br />My RE agent said that was only the second time he saw that in 20 years.<br /><br />Guess i'm too chicken to play chicken. <br /><br />Oh, and packing up a house's belongings all at once? Yep, i've done that, too. what helped me was to envision where said item was going to live. If i saw the place clearly in my mind, it was a keeper. If not, it wasn't. But, the ultimate house was already standing. In your case, you're be in temporary digs, so you might need a "need this in the permanent digs but not now" pile.<br /><br />Good luck.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-20873344641314942222013-08-22T08:50:31.352-05:002013-08-22T08:50:31.352-05:00Fingers, toes are crossed for good luck.

So glad I live a gazillion miles away or I might feel compelled to come help you pack...and it would take you at least five years to find your favorite soup spoon.
