So much has happened in the last few weeks that I have not had time to write and inform you (drum roll please!) OUR HOUSE IS NOW FOR SALE!

Tim had the sign waiting in the yard when I pulled up one Sunday afternoon! I have to admit I had tears rolling down my face when I heard the news that this would actually be happening. I quickily hid them from the friends that were driving in the vehicle with me. I didn’t want them to see how silly I was being. It is a wonderful thing that we have worked so hard to get our house to the perfect point of selling, and yet a part of me was so sad. The last 8 years in our house have been filled with so many wonderful memories and I can honestly say I LOVE my house! We have tailored this little house and made it OUR home! This is the only house my kids have known to call home.  The only house they have learned to crawl and walk and giggle, and smile in as their home. Their rooms are the only rooms that they have had as their own. They have friends that they have made on the street that are their friends and now we have to start over.

Another aspect of this “house for sale” thing, is trusitng God. It has not been a challenge yet (I am hoping it won’t ever be), as our house has only been on the market a few weeks. I know that this house is going to sale. The hard thing is, not know HOW it is going to sale. I drive around and see all these sale signs up and there are a lot. As we all know. But I know in my heart we are to be making this move. I know that God has this in his plan. So I know our house is going to sale. One night I laid awake praying…and praying…and praying…not sleeping, but praying. Then out of know where a picture of mustard seeds popped in my mind. This is unusual because I do not think like this. I was like why are there mustard seeds in my head and then I thought of the “faith like a mustard seed” story and I was once again reminded of what faith can do. So I know we are going to sell this thing! It is beautiful and I hope whoever moves into our home finds as much joy in it as we have.

For those of you reading…pray for my family, pray for my house to sale. This has been a rough few weeks. I know God is amazing and I trust in Him completely. But pray for strength for my family!

    Tandy,

    We have never met but my husband and I attended West Ridge before we moved to Charlotte NC about 18 months ago. We have been involved with church planting since college. My husband and I now find ourselves looking for another opportunity and I find your new journey intriguing. We have been attending Elevation Church (www.elevationchurch.org / http://www.stevenfurtick.com) as we are waiting on our next opportunity from God.

    There will be hard times but the end result is amazing…”So that people far from God will be filled with life in Christ”. This is Elevation’s purpose/mission statement.

    Angie
