Spriggy -
Thanks for being vulnerable and transparent - and sharing your real faith in action story!
I'm going through something similar... we've been trying to sell our beautiful, huge and well-located home for 13 weeks now, in a neighborhood where other houses have sold in a matter of HOURS!
We've been wondering what God is tellins us... we know He wants us to move (too many answered prayers about that), and the people in our new house are willing to wait it out with us...
But we so badly want to hear what He's telling us, and our faith has been soooooo challenged -- wondering if we've "been forsaken" while others have been blessed... but we're choosing to TRUST Him, no matter what it looks like to us on the outside. We know, from His perspective, this all makes perfect sense, that His timing is impeccable, and that He knows exactly what He's doing, and it IS working out together for our GOOD, no matter what we perceive with our limited perspective!!!
And when I waver in my faith, He's right there to give me more, in His infinite mercy!
I'm needing more right now, God...!
I pray for His mercy, His grace, His sufficient strengh, His guidance, His comfort, His supply, and His abundant love to carry you through this time, and always!
Shalom, Dena
