Setbacks

"Hear, O Lord, my righteous plea; listen to my cry...I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes. Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings..."
Psalm 17:1,6-8

It is with great sadness that I write this post. The contract has fallen through on our current home, and as of right now, we are not moving and everything is stalled as we move back to where we started, and that is to have the house be back on the market.
We found out late last night that the buyers of our home dropped the contract, yet we still have no reasoning as to why. Yes it was past the option period, and yes, things like this aren't supposed to happen. So, we have decisions to make, emotions to grapple with, and a house to get back together for show/sell mode. Yes, we are heart-broken. And, yes, we are currently baffled by this turn of events. Maybe it's God's protective Hand...maybe it's a test of continued faith & perseverence...whatever it is, we are left baffled & heart-broken by this turn of events.
We are hopeful that our realtor will make contact with the buyer's agent today (so far, his calls have not been answered) and have some of our questions resolved. Until then, we move forward to ready our home "For Sale" once again. Pleasejoin us in prayer for the owners of the home we were going to buy...I know they are in the same predicament we are and their hearts are broken today too (as we had to w/draw our contract). Truly, our God is faithful & His will & plan perseveres.
Pray also for Rob and I as we (hopefully) discuss things tonight. I say hopefully, b/c I am unaware of his schedule. He just returned from Mexico late last night, and then went right into work as of this morning. I am hoping we can find some time tonight to pray, process, and sort through some of this muddle. Pray for guidance, as the path we thought was so clear, has officially become dark & gloomy. His hand is there, guiding and directing, we simply need ears to hear, faith to move, and trust to persevere through this storm.
And, please pray for my heart...it is broken in a thousand different pieces. I am finding solace in the Psalms (16 & 17 to be exact)....but clarity and answers to the baffling situation would be a blessing from Above.
