Decisions Decisions

We are in the midst of trying to decide between two houses here in OKC. We have been surprised at the homes here, our realtor has too. They have the most homes on the market than they have had in years but just not the right one for us. Our hope was to find a house to fit or come close to fitting our family and one that we could sell with ease in a couple of years if needed. One of the houses we found is pretty close to perfect for our family but a bit overpriced for the market here and the other one is a decent price but not quite so perfect as far as layout and number of rooms. We are sitting on things today and plan to make an offer tomorrow. We have been asking for prayer and praying that God would guide our decision.

"Final lesson. “filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.” Pray in utter reliance upon Jesus. For only when the branch cleaves to the vine will the fruit grow. Only when we are clinging to Christ, will his life giving Spirit flow through us to produce the fruit of peace, love, joy, self-control, patience. This fruit will bring glory and praise to the Father. This is how to pray through to a good decision."
This is from our pastor's sermon last week on Paul's example of how to pray through a decision. Thank you Pastor James!

We'll keep you all in our prayers regarding this big decision. If you have pictures of both, you could take a poll!:)
