Up in the Air

As we continue to plan for our future move to Florida the wait is beginning to take its toll.

 First we have the issue of our place selling.We apparently hired the worst realtor ever because we have a cash offer on our place and yet we are at a stand still for months. Joe is having to continually call him to get any updates and we are waiting much longer than what is normal for a short sale. We may end up trying to get a new realtor & hopefully the person who wants our place won't walk away. Of course if something does happen and we have to be out in 30 days that creates some problems too. It is beyond frustrating to not have this guy working for us, calling the bank and doing his job to help us get out of this condo. Lots more I could say on this, but living in a tiny condo with four people can only last so long before I start pulling my hair out.

Next we have the issue of Joe's job. We are currently waiting to hear about a job transfer with CDW or another position that he interviewed for in Clearwater a few weeks ago. If neither one of these pans out then we have a dilemna with finding a job down there while we are living here. We obviously won't want to move without Joe being employed in Florida first. More than anything he wishes he could do his current job at CDW in the Tampa office, but that's not an option. It is stressful for him and I am wanting to be supportive and positive, but it's hard to not be anxious for this to come together.

On top of the job issue & our place selling is just the day to day adjustments of having two one year olds. Iris makes strides each day, but there is still a lot of insecurity there and it's a challenge to tend to her needs on top of everything else that needs my attention. We have appointments that need to be made, post reports that need to be scheduled & it just makes a girl feel wiped.

A good verse I read this morning was Prov. 16:1 "The preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord".
After everything we went through to get Iris home and the years of waiting I should be much more relient on the Lord with all these circumstances. We certainly appreciate your prayers with all of this; I've only been waiting for the last 7 years to move back :)
