I needed to be reminded of those scripture verses today.

(There are...You have no idea how much I understand. (There are behind the scenes happenings at our house that I haven't been able to blog about.) According to Zillow.com we are 60K underwater on our house. There is no way we can sell it for what we have left on our mortgage. Renting might be an option to think about(property management companies make this something doable from long distance). Walking away from it seems dishonest, we committed to the mortgage we should have the integrity to follow through despite circumstances. <br /><br />As far as trusting God- When I pray I seek to feel peace, deep down into the souls of my feet and piercing my heart. I try to hold on to that peace, if it slips away I cling to the memory of that peace. That feeling does more for me than any logistical maneuvering or piece of information could ever do. Whatever may happen with house, job, etc. God's love is assured, and my family is forever. I remind myself that there are really very few things I can't live without.jendoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010044127553834584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688916779717257492.post-15451578236847133422011-01-26T15:24:32.014-06:002011-01-26T15:24:32.014-06:00So true.

I would love to know what God is doing in our lives and how things are going to turn out and when. It's so hard not knowing the details when we are planners. Trust is so difficult, as it goes against our nature. But it is so good for us, the best really. I will pray for you...if you pray for me :)Sarah Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000817419094818434noreply@blogger.com
