Still waiting

We are still waiting to hear from our realtor if our offer has been accepted on this bank-owned home. It is soooo hard to hang in limbo! I have told my classes that if the phone rings I will be answering it because it could be our realtor. Now they are praying that we get this house, particularly since they know that we will be having them over at least one Friday night per month. We would also like to have an available bedroom/bathroom so we can host people who come here for cancer treatment at our regional medical center.

But God knows--and only He knows at this point.

I woke up with the song, "Oh Jesus I have promised" in my head. It is a bit of a dreary tune and I hope it is not a harbinger of events to come today. The gist of it is that I'll hold on no matter what comes. So today my prayer is that whatever happens regarding our house will honor God in some way. We have contingency plans if we don't get the house, but we still wait in hope. Perhaps this is what the Christian life is all about--waiting with the not-knowingness of it all.
