I only wish that His idea of our life plan matched mine!
Mine would have had our house sold three years ago when we first tried selling it, and we'd be out away from neighbors with lots of land, a big yard and an awesome house for parties and entertaining.
Present day: our house is STILL for sale and has been for the better part of three years, give or take a few months here and there. I hate it! It's really not that bad of a house, only it has train tracks in the backyard and no basement. Otherwise, nothing needs replacing and it's certainly not sucking any of our money for fixes.
The reason this is forward in my mind-- well, more than usually, is that we have a showing tomorrow. We haven't had one for 3 months. So, there's a slight glimmer of hope that the right person will be walking through our front door tomorrow and will make us an offer that we can financially accept.
I want God to change the plan He has mapped for us and have a buyer walk through tomorrow and make us an offer! But, I'm not holding my breath.
I really have nothing to complain about because our house payments are good and we've been able to put aside money for other things, but my drive to and from work is pretty much wearing me down. I HATE driving by Friday and when I get home, all I want to do is hibernate and get things done around the house. I hate the thought of driving to the cities or anywhere far over the weekend, and I'm sure my car also hates the thought. I do trade my car for the Malibu once in a while, but both cars are racking up the miles pretty fast. My car is close to 70,000 miles!!!! I bought it 18 months ago with 30,000 miles. And, that's not even driving it every day!
I also feel like I'm losing my mind sometimes, seriously. I feel like I'm never home, and when I'm home I'm scrambling to help others with projects or working on my own things that need to get done, all housework aside. I forget to pay bills, and that's what make me the most mad. They're reoccurring monthly, have the same due date, but I fail to remember that, and I get reminders in the mail or late fees. UGH! It's happened a few times in the last few months. Granted, summer is extremely busy, but that's no excuse. I blame it on not wanting to sit down at the computer once I get home for the night. I blame it on me having Alzheimer's. I also blame it on the mail carrier for not delivering my mail to me. Sad, I know. I'm kidding about the Alzheimer's thing-- maybe. I'm getting a HORRIBLE memory. It's strange. I used to be able to remember the littlest, insignificant things, and now I forget almost anything I need to remember. I've gotten so far off track, it's hard to recover, or maybe I should say I've forgotten why I started writing! haha! I need a personal assistant.
Anyway, I just wanted to jot down a reminder to God that my and Mike's life plan needs a little tweaking. I'm not getting any younger, after all.
