Moving house?

Back in April we blogged about wanting to move house We sold our house to a lovely couple wanting to downsize to be nearer grandchildren. They loved our house. All was good. But, over the last few months it transpires that they've not been able to sell their house in Hororata so have pulled out of the sale of our place. This is frustrating, to say the least.

We still want to move; Catalyst means lots of boxes of books, it'd be nice to have a dedicated study/office, space for more students rather than squashing into our small living room, and also Terry on the way. We're motivated to move. And owners of the place we hope to move to continue to be very gracious and have allowed us another few weeks to sell this house. But the question remains - will our house sell again? There's not much volume in the housing market at the moment so we may have to stay put, which wouldn't be ideal but not impossible. We've been reminding ourselves that so many cope with so much less. God is good, and God does care - it's our lack of trust that has been bubbling to the forefront.

If you know anyone who wants the country air of Hororata with lots of house for the money, have a look at Campbell's Cottage

It's the place our (previous) purchasers want to sell. They're still up for selling - I had Alison in tears on the phone at the thought of not moving to our place.
Alternatively, if you know anyone who'd like to live in sunny Lincoln (and yes, the sun is shining weakly at the moment!) then here's our new TradeMe ad.


We're trying to keep an eternal perspective on all this, and failing some of the time. Please would you pray for our stress in this situation?
