Packing and cleaning

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen
Hebrews 11:1

I did pack boxes today, and I also did some cleaning. Nicole pulled weeds. And God willing we will do more tomorrow. I got a nice letter from someone that looked at our house 2 weeks ago. They said it was too big so they will not be buying it. They didn't need to write. I'm sorry they said no, but I'm blessed they took the time to write. I am continually reminded that I have no control. I can not make someone buy my house! But I can clean and pack. So I'll try really hard to just do what I can. And I'm again on my knees scrubbing the floors and trying to let go of my fear.

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
