Calling All Masses, Calling All Masses........

o.k. guys i am calling all masses to pray for our house to sell. now i have to admit that this is a lesson in HUMILITY for me. let me explain. when we were living in addison texas, we went to a church (a well off church) we didn't realize it until later. anyway sunday after sunday someone was praying for their house to sell. i remember telling david, why aren't they praying for ALL the starving children in the world, or the homeless, or all of the women that are beaten everyday, or all the people that are suffering with all sorts of terrible diseases, instead of a house that needs to be selling.


so one night i am praying to God tearfully that He help us sell our house and He gently reminds me of this. i remember trying to ignore this, like who me God are you talking to me. while all the while i knew darn good and well who he was talking to. i quickly felt so embarrassed, and bad for all the ugly comments i made to david about these so called "selfish" people that it just stopped me in my tracks. i couldn't go on.

i was immediately was filled with remorse and compassion for them. i was so humiliated that i didn't even ask to be forgiven. i then thought about all of the things that they must have been feeling and going through. jobs, schools for their children, future houses, hopes, dreams and all those other things that are put on hold while waiting for their house to be sold. husbands that might have been traveling far distances for their job, and having to be away from their loved ones for extended periods of time.


a few nights later, God gently whispered into my heart to blog about it and ask my blogging family to pray for us to sell a house. i was so filled with shame, guilt, embarrassment and a little lingering wounded pride that i just couldn't. a few nights ago the house selling began to just really get me bummed. why God? i began to cry. the first time. i think part of that was because of the stress of trying to sell a house and the realization of how close our move is really getting. it had all just built up.

later that night, i felt God whispering to me, You can either sit and pout and waste your summer worring about when your house is going to sell, or you can enjoy the EXTRA time i am providing you with, to be with your wonderful family and friends.

I am always faithful, always reliable, and always dependable. I ordained this move and I will not leave you or forsake you. You are my child, nothing takes me by surprise. Have I ever not taken care of you? i had to answer Him, "no."

God also told me to start praying for the house across the street to sell. they are military and they need their house to sell before yours. he HAS to leave before you. so now i am.

so not only am i callingall masses to pray for our house to sell, but also for Rob and Cindy's house to sell. SO I AM ASKING MY POWERFUL SISTERS IN CHRIST, PLEASE PRAY FOR BOTH OF US TO SELL OUR HOUSE QUICKLY!!!!! especially Rob and Cindy's. they are almost at the point of renting their house out which they really don't want to do.


thank you for your prayers,
kimmie
