Shalee’s Diner

But all my bosses are gone and I have this feeling of listlessness within me. Maybe listlessness is the wrong word. Perhaps laziness, distracted or daydreamy are better descriptions.

Whatever it is, I don’t wanna do what I’m supposed to be doing. I’d rather play. It’s sunny and beautiful and the last of the great weather (I’m guessing). I’d rather be enjoying a bit of life’s fun times than be sitting at this desk today. I’ll get stuff done, but probably not with the same level of enthusiam that I usually hold.

Today I’m going to lunch with The Girl. She is super excited to have me join her today with all her friends! Can I get a big amen about kids who actually want to be with their parents? This morning, before she knew that I was coming to eat with her and bring her fast-food fare and before I had made my decision to lunch with her, she posted the following on facebook: “I am thankful for loving parents!” That made my heart sing!

With the house, we have one couple who would like to assume our mortgage. Please pray that their credit checks out wonderfully as that would be the one thing that would cause a hitch in the plan. They still have to have good enough credit to assume, despite the fact that what they’re paying in rent right now is exactly the same for what we pay in mortgage payments.

Recently, I read this verse:

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Eph 3:20-21

That verse really caught my attention. More that I ask or even imagine… I stopped then and there and asked that God do more than I can imagine with the selling of the house.

This assumption would be doing just that: we wouldn’t be paying an agent, the price wouldn’t lower even further in negotiations, and the fees would be thousands less than what it would cost to “sell” the house. Plus, it frees us from this anchor we have here.

I’m so excited, but feeling cautious at the same time. I hate that! I know I should feel completely thrilled at any opportunities that God presents to me, not fearful that it won’t “work out” this time.

So I’m praying not only for the deal to work out, but for me to maintain my enthusiasm that GOD IS IN CONTROL AND LISTENING AND THAT I HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR! (I’m not yelling at you. I’m yelling it to my self to get it through my thick skull and weak heart.)

That’s the gist of things here. The youth group is coming to help us clean up the leaves since I can’t start the stupid lawn vacuum. (I’m such a wimpy girl.)

I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is only two weeks away. Man oh man, time is flying!! I’m really excited that my parents are coming into town next week. We’ve not seen them in forever and a day; plus my mom will spoil me by having dinner ready when I get home.

What’s going on with you? What are you happy about or struggling with or just want to share on this little ole blog o’ mine? I’d love to pray for you or celebrate with your joy!
