I Was Looking Forward to Moving

When will this happen? I'm not sure what's ahead. One minute the weather is the problem, the next minute it's something different. I'm sick of these mind games.
I've gotten to the place, if we move it's fine. And if we don't move, so be it. I'm not gonna worry about anything at all, whether big or small.
Life is far too short to spend it foolishly on negativity. I'm 72 years old and not getting any younger.
As a matter of fact, I'll be 73 years old in September, 2024. That's a fact that can't be changed. And I wouldn't change it anyway, if I had the power to do so.
Whatever God has planned for my life, that's exactly what I want. Some people aren't satisfied, unless they've been given a complete map of their entire future.
I want one thing for my future, a much closer relationship with God. If I gain this privilege in this world, his righteousness, peace and joy will be all that really matters.
Today, I've obtained new hope. Because all things work together for good, for those who love the Lord. For those who are the called according to his purpose.
My dreams and aspirations are all useless, unless Jesus Christ is the most important person, whom I love more than anything.

You'll get there. I'm sure of it. It's just going to take time.

I must put the Lord first, everything else second.

@kobesbuddy Well, there's nothing wrong with looking forward tto something. I'm sure it's exciting to be building the house in the first place.

How frustrating for you. I will be 73 in November. I dream of having a nice home to leave to the kids but it never happens. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I hope things go better for you.

That's a good mindset, whatever happens, will be the right thing, so don't worry.

It is so frustrating to either build a new home or remodel one. So, so many delays, I've lived through all of them numerous times, and it is NOT fun. You reach the point where you don't ever count on a committed date for completion, ever. I'm glad you are at peace with that.

And when the money starts running out, it's impossible to go forward!

Yes, it is. It's very difficult, and building a home is pricey, whether you do the work or have someone else do it. Materials are extremely expensive.

My attitudes have been changeable, one day excited, the next day confused.

Sorry about this, but building a house always seems to be a hassle. I think you have a good attitude. All good things in time!

If I just forget about a new home, maybe there will be one.

Hopefully, the building will go ahead now without too many hiccups.

You are right that worrying about events we cannot control is not healthy at all.

I'm so sorry the house isn't moving forward. I hope and pray that things will work out for you. Have a good day.
