Kind of a bad day

Woke up this morning and checked my email to find an alert from the real estate website that the house we are trying to get is now listed as pending, and we haven't heard from our realtor. We're probably not getting it. I am so incredibly bummed about it. And more, I am confused and frustrated about what we are supposed to be doing. Both Matt and I have felt like this is the house God has been leading us to. We've had several things happen in prayer or when we've "put out a fleece" so to speak which gave confirmation that this was right. So now what?

The way I feel right now is hard to express, but here's the song I was listening to on repeat as I was driving into work this morning:

Hello Lord, it's me your child
I have a few things on my mind
Right now I'm faced with big decisions
And I'm wondering if you have a minute,

Right now I don't hear so well
And I was wondering if you could speak up
I know that you tore the veil
So I could sit with you in person
And hear what you're saying but
Right now, I just can't hear you.

I don't doubt your sovereignty
I doubt my own ability to
Hear what you're saying
And to do the right thing
And I desperately want to do the right thing

But right now I don't hear so well
And I was wondering if you could speak up
I know that you tore the veil
So I could sit with you in person
And hear what you're saying but
Right now, I just can't hear you.

And somewhere in the back of my mind
I think you are telling me to wait
And though patience has never been mine
Lord, I will wait to hear from you
Oh Lord, I'm waiting on you

Right now I don't hear so well
And I was wondering if you could speak up
I know that you tore the veil
So I could sit with you in person
And hear what you're saying but
Right now, I think you're whispering

Just keep plugging along and know that it might all make sense later.. or maybe not. He has a plan!-t

I've heard the market drops a bit during the winter months. Maybe you'll get lucky as the weather gets cooler? We looked at a ton of homes and put an offer on three, so I feel your frustration. I'll say some prayers! :) ~Natalie

Just because the house is pending, doesn't mean you won't get it. That deal could fall through. You and Matt have been in prayer about this from the beginning. God has a plan and whatever the outcome on this house, it's in His plan, so how can you go wrong.
