Anxiety

Be anxious for nothing. Wise words from God's Word, but easier said (read?) than done.

Its Monday night, Oct 29th, and the closing for Brandon & Megan's house is Wednesday at noon. But, we found out this morning that the termite letter indicated some prior damage to the wood under the house. So, the lender needs either 1) a letter from a licensed contractor stating that the damage does not require repair (i.e. does not affect the house structurally, or 2) proof that the damage has been fixed.

If scenario 1 happens, then we should be good to go for closing on Wednesday. If, on the other hand, scenario 2 happens, then closing will probably be delayed, according to how much damage must be repaired and how long that will take.

According to the contract, the sellers must pay for any termite repairs, but even so it causes us problems. Brandon and Megan have already given notice at their apartment, and must be out Sunday. Of course they are welcome to stay with us for as long as they need, but where will they store their stuff?

I think the point of the Lord's words is that if we truly trust Him to look out for our good, then we will not be anxious about anything, but instead will accept circumstances as His will for us. But oh, that is hard to live out!

If you're the praying type, pray that things will work out for the Wednesday closing. But also, pray that we can be OK with the situation, and trust His will.
