For Sale


My house if officially for sale!! It's been on the market for just over a week. It's kind of bittersweet, although mostly sweet. It's one more step closer to Haiti, but I still have moments of sadness at the thought of letting my house go. God is continually reminding me that I'm trading something temporal for something of great eternal value. God has blessed me with my house, and it's His, not mine. It's crazy how God had continued to change my heart. Things that I once viewed as huge sacrifices like giving up my house, seemingly giving up the possibility of marriage, and even wearing high heels (wearing heels in Haiti is highly impractical) are now of little consequence to me. They don't even seem like sacrifices anymore because I've relinquished them to the Lord and readily give them up. It seems so silly that these things once held me back from following God's direction for my life. Please continue to lift me up in prayer as God prepares the way.

In His Service,
Julia
