What Not to Say

Yeah for PCS!! We’ve relocated!! Praise the Lord!!  More than anything, our house sold!  I am so thankful to be able to move without having to maintain the mortgage.  Whew, what a blessing.  Now for yet another job search...

Selling the house taught me the value of what to say.  I’ve known one has the power to bring things to pass or stop a locomotive with the very things one says.  I’ve heard so many testimonies about people speaking God’s Word in their lives and watching Him show Himself faithful.  However, when you live a lesson for yourself, no one can take it away your personal testimony.  All while the house was on the market, and no matter how many fruitless showings we had, I continued to thank God for the sale of the home.  We had at least 30-35 showings on the house, and one day, we got an offer.  A good offer!!  That offer turned into a contract, and eventually closed!!!  The timing was absolutely perfect.

I remember having so many times where I would much rather complain about the situation.  I remember wanting to buy into the ‘say what you feel’ philosophy.  I’m willing to admit that I may have had emotional ups and downs.  With the full knowledge that emotions are just feelings (and feelings are fickle).  The key is to push past those fickle feelings and say the correct thing.  Speak the Word only!

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.  Hebrews 10:23
