Still Waiting

Today is the first of June, and I’m still here, in this house, waiting. Waiting to move on, but stuck in limbo. I can’t move forward or back. Still waiting for reasons only God knows.

I read an article about the housing market. Nationwide, one out of seven sale contracts fail, and the market has now dropped from a sellers’ market to a buyers’ market. However, I only need one buyer. Someone who will love living in this house as much as I have. Is that a possible reason for this delay? Is someone out there praying for a home like mine but aren’t ready to buy at this moment? After all, God answers other people’s prayers too.

Then, perhaps the home God has planned for me in my home state isn’t available right now.

There are many plausible reasons for this delay and no guessing on my part will change my circumstances.

And so I wait.

Like the main character in Castaway, “I gotta keep breathing because tomorrow the sun will rise, who knows what the tide could bring?” 

Dear Lord, the hardest part of waiting for a miracle is hanging on for the last half hour. Please strengthen my faith and temper my doubts and impatience. Amen.
