Our House

So for the past year we have been living in this great house. It is the first brand new house we have ever had. It is roomy. It has 4 bedrooms. It has granite counter tops and 10 foot high ceilings. It has arches in the living room and beautiful windows. It would be a great house to entertain in. I have always had dreams of hosting raucous barbeques and cozy family dinners and elegant cocktail parties in this house. It has never happened. The only party we have ever had here was in October of 2006 when Mark turned 40. It was nice, but you can't have too much fun on a Sunday night! Today we found out that we might be forced to move. The owners of the house are disenchanted with 15 months (and counting) of waiting for our house to sell. Kyla has been crying most of the night. I feel sick down deep in my stomach. Mark is showing definite signs of stress. But tonight God sent us a message. Mark's sweet sister Ann and her husband Dennis brought over dinner and we hung out and talked and laughed and ate and drank wine. This is just the kind of life I pictured in our beautiful house. Friends and family... company here. Enjoying each other and listening to each other. It was perfect. And if God has this house in His plan for our lives, we will be here. And if not, He will show us where He wants us to go. Wishing you love on this foggy night, Nancy
