Another wave...Standing Firm!

"For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm." ~Ephesians 6:12-13, NLT~

Tonight...yet another wave!
Following the great news of the Amnio this afternoon - the enemy brought a full blown attack! Earlier this morning, we contacted our realtor to inform him of what we found out yesterday afternoon, in regards to the severity of Jackson's condition. We truly felt that the Lord was leading/prompting us to get out of our contract, and walk away from the move, and "to put the "pen down" at this point! (Scripture ref. Genesis 22)

Tonight-we recieved a series of emails from the buyer's agent that they are not allowing us/or willing to walk away from the deal. If we decide not to sell at this point - they are asking for more than $5000 and probably closer to $10,000 to cover the buying agent's commission, the buyer's relocation and temporary housing - since their current home is scheduled to close as well on July 24 - along with any out of pocket expense indured by the buyers and their agents! I share this not to point fingers, or to cast judgement on the buyers...but it was just a true glimpse at how "the world works" and the wicked schemes that the enemy brings!

Not going to lie...we are rocked right now! In this midst everything going on - we can't afford to move and we can't afford to stay! Let alone know where to move to? We are truly in between a rock and a hard place...Can't even begin to tell you how many tears we have shed tonight! Can't believe that we may actually have to go through with the sale of our home and move in the midst of this...

But God...and here is the word we are standing firm on right now: [2 Corinthians 4:7-10, NLT]
"We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
-We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed.
-We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.
-We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God.
-We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies."

Please continue to pray tonight for strength and understanding! We do not see any way out right now...or where to go if we are forced to move, but we ask and trust that God will open our blind eyes, unlock our deaf ears and pick us up out of this place and intervene right now! We are standing firm, and accept it by Faith, that He knows the plans He has for us, not of disaster, but one of hope in Christ! And even though we can not "see" right now...we will continue to walk by faith, praising His Name - leaning not on our own understanding, but seeking His will - and it is His promise found in Proverbs 3:6 "that He will guide our path!"

All eyes on Jesus...
