When do you say "OK, this must not be part of God's plan"?
And when do you say, "I trust in you Lord, I will keep faith and not give up"?
This internal battle has spread itself to many parts of our life lately. I've been praying so hard for answers. I know my prayers are heard, I know He will answer. But sometimes waiting for His answer and trying to interpret signs is just plain HARD.

You see Hubsy and I have this dream to move to the country and build a simpler quiet life. It's been building in us for over a year. It's the kind of life we want not only for ourselves but for our boys especially. Less busy, less stuff....more nature, more quiet, more discovery. This past May we decided to go for it and make it happen so we put our house up for sale. We found a sweet little house in the country on a dirt road with a lot of farm land around...perfection :) Problem is we are having a very difficult time selling our house. I won't go into the details but it has been a really rough road so far.
I have a beautiful house. If I could pick it up and move it to the country I would absolutely do that without a moments hesitation. So...we are left to wonder if this is a sign that moving is not in God's plan for us at all? Or just not now? Or should we keep trying? Is our buyer right around the corner? We find ourselves weary of the frequent showings we have and needing to leave the house. This takes its toll on planning several aspects of everyday life...even just what to have for dinner since I may or may not be around to cook it : ) Not to mention our boys are homebodies (like us) and get quite cranky when they have to suddenly stop playing so we can clean up and leave on short notice. But we know this is all part of the process of selling your home, it's just something you gotta do.
It tugs at our minds and hearts daily.
What about you?
Do you struggle with not knowing when to walk away from something and when to just try harder?
I'd love to hear your story, please share!
