The following is an e-mail written to the staff of our home church.  Specifics have been generalized to protect the privacy of others. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
 Dear Staff,<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
Hope you are all doing well.  We sure miss you all already.  We’ll be leaving the desert in 3 days, and leaving the state in 11 days.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
We’ve had a couple potential buyers, and several potential renters.  All have fallen through.  We offered to rent to a family that really needed a good deal.  We really prayed about making it work for them, but they ended up turning down our offer because the commute would be to much for them.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
We’ve pretty much resolved to drive away even with the house unresolved, but that makes us nervous.  While God does want us to use wisdom, He also reminds us that His kingdom is “upside down”.  We believe the furthering of the gospel should be the priority above our desire to maximize our possessions.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
We are willing to sell for way less that we bought the house for or rent it for just above the cost of our monthly payment.  Please continue to pray for provision, wisdom, and the resolve to do whatever God calls us to whatever that may be.  If we don’t hear anything soon we’ll probably list with a realtor or rental agency.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
Grace and peace,<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
