Patience - Not my strongest virtue

I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason. I am just not sure yet what my reason is, except that maybe God is trying to teach me some patience. As some of you may/may not know...Derek and I put our house up for sale in March so that we could make the move to Arlington, TX to relocate with our company. So many that we talked to assured us our house would sell in no time. However, that has been the furthest thing from the truth so far. Here we are 7 months later and still no sale.
Now, I have never been the most patient person. I am a planner and organizer and I like to know things, plan ahead and then have things happen in a very immediate time frame. This situation has taught me that so much of life is out of my hands. It is what it is and it is that way for a reason. I don't know why our house hasn't sold yet, I don't know why time and time again we have been the second favorite of many buyers, but what I do know is that I am starting to stress less, take things more in stride and live every day and every week for the moment. I cannot plan too far ahead anymore because of this situation so I have learned to let things come to me a bit more. So, if that is the "reason" for all of this, I guess it is a good one.

Though, I still want my house to sell. :-)
