Through a Valley

We were given a 30 day notice by our tenants today. What a shock! As some of you recall, we took a HUGE step of faith when we bought our current home and moved last May. We were sure that God would supply all our needs according to OUR plans by selling our first home in enough time that there would never be 2 mortgages owed in the same month...
Even though we felt the hand of God moving us here and it has been an awesome experience in God's providence, He has taught us a lot about how His plans are not ours. Finding renters, being landlords, losing money through hot water heaters and tree removal were only a few of the lessons we were blessed with experiencing. We have come this far unscathed and yet there is still fear gripping my thoughts as we find ourselves in a financial dilemma once again.
I ask you to pray that we stay in tune with God. As a friend reminded me recently, I need to desire to learn during the valley and not just pray my way to high ground! Should we rent or try to sell in this flat market? I need to mourn the loss of my first home. We were stubborn last year and didn't lower our offering price soon enough.
I am surrendering to the truth that my ways are not His ways. I just need to let go. I took my pictures and memories with me and the future will now be for someone else - no matter what the cost...
