I'm Trying Part 1

So September 07 we get the call...God made it clear that he wants us to move to Greenville, North Carolina and partner with Discovery Church to influence the families of the town for Jesus. It was unmistakable, glorious, and an answer to prayer. Cessie and I knew that something big was about to happen, we just were not sure what. So we began making preparations to move, starting with raising support and selling our house. It started out as a whirlwind, I went to training on raising support and began that process plus the first day we put our BY OWNER sign out someone wanted to see it that weekend. To be honest we were not surprised at all, because so many times in our life we dreamed big and stepped out in faith and God came through in amazing ways. It looked as if that was the case again. Our plan was coming together and we would be out in a very conservative 3 months. Fast forward 6 months, no sold house, not enough support, and a weekly sometimes daily faith crisis, battling second guessing, depression, bickering between spouses, financial problems. What gives, God?
Post a comment, give me some fresh perspective.

Good question. And if there were easy answers, there wouldn't be much to learn. So frankly I don't know. We thought you'd be here by now or things would be going a little quicker/better for you. I still feel good about it, just asking the same thing...what's gives God.
