Please Pray

To all of my faithful blog readers, I would like to plead with you to please pray for us right now. I am not sure how much you all know about our housing situation in Tomball, but here is the story. We found a house that we love in Tomball. Unfortunately the man currently living there has not paid the landlord rent and she was in the process of having him evicted. Her court date was scheduled for Tuesday, January 8 but it was pushed back to January 18 due to a technicality (out of the landlords control). We decided to try and persue other housing options at this point because we didn't think we could wait that long to decide. We looked around at the very short list of other options and in the end decided the house would be worth the wait. Stacie, the landlord, informed us that after the court date, the tennant would have 5 days to make his plea and then he would have 3 days to get out of the house or be physically removed. Stacie told us that the tennant was in the process of buying a house and so she thought he wouldn't be a problem. She had been able to get a verbal agreement from the man that he would be out by this Friday and he asked for a day to clean the house and then we could move in on the 26th. We went ahead and scheduled the movers and started setting up the utilities for the house. Yesterday afternoon I recieved a phone call from Stacie and she told me that the tennant was not cooperating. She had filed for the Writ of Possesion (I think that is what it is called and it is were the guy has 48 hours to get out or he would be removed) but that it would not go in effect until Monday of next week. She doesn't know if the tennant is going to be out of the house on Friday and she has advised us to stay in Round Rock until she can have him removed. Unfortunately we have movers coming tomorrow and we have already rented the Uhaul for Friday-Sunday. Dave and I are extremely frustrated with the whole situation and are really tired of having to deal with this situation. I am asking for prayer because it is so easy for me to get really angry and stressed out right now and I know that I need to remain calm and trust that God will take care of us. I keep repeating Matthew 6:25-34 but it is so hard to see clearly through this situation.
Love you all and we will keep you updated. We will not have internet access after tomorrow, but we will try and keep you informed as best as possible. Feel free to call if you have any advice or questions.
