Dramatic Life Chane

DRAMATIC LIFE CHANGE
My husband John and I are in the last half of our fifties.  Too old to be making major life changes?  Nope.  In fact I've been Spiritually guided to do three major things: buy a new house by water? that is to the north of Springfield, MO where we currently live; sell the business we've owned and operated for almost 23 years; and sell our present home which has been a Spiritual gathering place for our family and friends for years. 
 
I was given guidance that these were to take place in this order and all would be accomplished by 8-31, 2005.  I received these messages several years ago and thought I had plenty of time so why worry about it.  Then this year rolled around and I got scared.  Oh, oh, I think Spirit is expecting me to be ready.  So I took a look at the order and decided the first event was to find a home by water, north of us.
 
I have wanted to live closer to our families for a long time.  I began getting real estate links to land only, land with a home, land with water, land without water, houses in subdivisions, houses on smaller acreage . . .  You get the point.  It was nearly overwhelming.  However, I'd calm myself and remember the order of events.
 
John and I narrowed the search down to 9 houses in Wentzville, Troy, and Foristell, MO.  Our friend Joy went with us to look at our final choices--which I had stipulated must be no older than 8 years.  Three of them had parts of what we wanted, but not one met all the criteria.  Hmm.  So our agent, who's our son, sent us a few more links of homes built over 8 years ago.  Bingo.  Our new home is 9 years old.  We had just replaced our pool liner and pump in our current house and lamented the extra cost when we wouldn't be getting much use out of it.  Our new home's pool has a brand new liner and pump.  Hmm.  We bought the house on the spot.  It's north of Springfield close to the Missouri and the Mississippi Rivers.
 
Now even though the next two things on our list:  sell the business and our current house, seem impossible given the magnitude of the job, we're moving forward with confidence.  When Spirit speaks, things fall into place easily.  I know we're expected to show up and work, but the opportunities will show themselves at the right time and place.
