Prayer Please

I'm sending out a request for prayer to all our friends.  Please pray for our house in Sherman to sell.  We have been trying to sell our house for the last three years, without much progress.  We have made several updates and have lowered the price three times, but still no real offers to move ahead with.

We live our lives each day in Anna.  We work there.  Our kids go to school there and are involved in numerous after school activities.  We lead Journey Groups there.  We are actively involved in the community there.  Our house in Sherman has really become nothing more than a hotel that we arrive at late most nights only to crash and get up and get going again the next morning.

The driving and the late nights keep us exhausted at all times.  We have almost no down time and little time that we get to just chill with each other.  Keeping the house meticulously clean and ready to show at all times (which we aren't always able to do) is another source of exhaustion for us.  And, the rising cost of gas makes driving back and forth, sometimes more than once in a day, a real budget strain.

So, I'm issuing an all call for prayer, serious, constant, persistent prayer.  My mantra right now that rings through my head all day is: "God, please let our house sell."  I'd love to have some of you agreeing the same thing for us.
