So glad you’re back in blogland! Your perspective is refreshing. We are also in a waiting season with some of the same questions on our lips.

Thanks for sharing, the the past few years I’ve found myself searching for a more accurate celebration of Jesus during Christmastime….and coming up empty handed. The links you shared have enough to keep me busy for a while, I just glanced through a couple of them and can’t wait to check them out more in depth and share them with my husband!

Julie,
If your house isn’t selling, it is priced too high. I realize that sounds cold, but it is the truth.
I would suggest you interview 10 realtors, have them give their assessment of what it will realistically sell for, and their track records: have any of them recently sold property similar to yours?
We are in a terrible economy, and many people think real estate prices will continue to drop, so why buy now?
I wish you and your family well. Just get the facts and make a business decision based on those facts. Don’t beat yourself up with regret over past decisions. It was the best decision for your family at that time; now things have changed.
We have a nephew who bought in AZ in 2006 for $265, he now has that home listed for $165. I think he will try to get any offer possible and ask his lender to accept a short sale. If they won’t accept a short sale, I think he will intentionally default.
My previous boss bought in DC around 2005. He now lives in NC, has been renting the DC house at an $800/month loss, and I think he is going to intentionally default, too.
It sounds like you have some equity in your property, so your situation is a lot better than theirs.
Unfortunately, right now, the only people selling their homes are those who continue to lower their price until they get a buyer.
You will get through this!

Take a step. Yah will show you what to do. He may keep you in limbo and not reveal His plan until the last minute, but He will show you. I think you should relist the house. I like your idea of listing it as a house for a large family and pray that He will show you whether to go with another agent or by owner. Our testing of faith came not in the waiting for the house to sell, but in not knowing where we were going once we left. We didn’t know until 4 days before we closed on the house and were prepared to live in our motorhome. Just remember that Yah is faithful and He will show you. *Ü*

Comment on Tincture Time! by Rachel Weaver

Yes, you can use fresh elderberries, but a lot of people recommend that they be heated first. Some constituent of the berry tends to be a problem for some people if not heated. So the recommendation is to just cover with water and heat to boil and let set for 24 hours. When you press out the juice, then you can go on to make a syrup or a tincture. I do it both fresh and heated and have seen no adverse side effects. Hope you enjoy your elderberries.
