Decisions

Today we found out our neighbor has his house on the market. It's a short sale and he priced it $6,000 under what we are trying to sell our house for. Every day that goes by makes the idea of selling our home more like a dream than reality. It just doesn't seem like we will ever be able to sell this house. Luke and I both cried at work today when we found out about our neighbor's house. What are we doing wrong? Is this a sign that God wants us to stay in Salem? If so, I need to find a job down here because I can't continue to do this. Or maybe the person that is going to buy our house hasn't sold theirs yet? Who knows. This morning we set a deadline for July 1st. If it's not sold by then, we decided to take it off the market. This afternoon, however, Luke talked to a coworker that is interested in renting our house. They even talked about "renting to own". But is it a good idea? We don't know. It is interesting to think about though. We would have to rent in Canby because we do not want two house payments. We are going to pray and think about it heavily this weekend, and hopefully God will guide us in the right direction. I'm nervous, yet excited. I don't want to get my hopes up though. I've done that way too many times.
