Ups and Downs

Today is a down. We had an offer on Friday night and the first thing we did was ask for the lenders letter of approval. By Sunday, with the encouragement of our agent we hesitantly accepted the offer. Monday came and went with no lender letter of approval, no inspection scheduled and Tuesday brought more of the same. Tuesday we met with the builders who had the lot we wanted and we signed a purchase agreement to begin with them. Wednesday at 5:15 we learned our buyers lost their approval due to what they claim is fraud and now we are back to impatiently waiting for showings and offers.
I believe with everything in me that our home will sell in time for us to still move into our new home. I believe that. But we are back in the swamp of "unknowns" and all I can do is hope. Have faith and wait for more to be revealed. Always a lesson in how truly powerless we are. Faith and hope. Faith and hope. That we have been guided and are still being guided by our God in our thoughts and action regarding this life change for us. He already knows who will live in this house. He already knows the timing of all things. He already knows and it will be revealed and occur according to his grand plan, his will, not mine.
Thank God in Heaven for his power and knowledge that all things may come together for the good of those who believe.
I want to be sad, but how can I? I began this journey believing the peace I felt in such a decision was divinely provided by Him who knows all things. So what is there to be sad about, it just taken a different course than I expected, it's not over, it's just different.
