Patience is fruit of the Spirit

The last few weeks have been good news but no news at the same time. We’ve received – and provisionally accepted – an offer on our house which is fantastic, but our buyer hasn’t yet sold her property, so we can’t proceed and so our house remains on the market.

We have also seen somewhere we like but have had two offers rejected and don’t want to get into more negotiations until we know exactly what’s happening with our sale. We’ve not yet seen anywhere else that gives us the space we’re looking for in the right location and at the right price.

Of course, we know God has perfect timing. But it’s hard to be patient. If you can, please pray that we’ll trust his timing to make all the bits of the jigsaw come into place!

Up for sale

Our house is finally up for sale! We tried to move a couple of years ago, and it ended up not working out. One of our friends reminded us that at the time she thought it would work out for us in two years’ time, and so we’re praying that this will be the right time, an that we’ll find a buyer quickly (we already have viewings lined up).

We would also value prayers about where we move to. We want our next home to be a place we can use to offer hospitality, and we believe that the location of our next house is particularly important as we look to build and be part of a new community.

Our journey continues…!
