Yes, we still have our house for sale. It has been a year now. I can't believe that it has been that long. We were very concerned about our finances, but God has proven Himself faithful. At the time that we put our house of the market, Tom took a 1/2 cut in pay, b/c of his employer cutting back in the company. He does work two jobs, and at the second job, there was a manditory job added on, so that has given up a little extra money. This company still only paid 1/2 the wages that they had paid out for the job before. We were frightened that we wouldn't be able to afford the mortgage on both houses, but do you know that we haven't had to change our lifestyle hardly at all. I can only compare it to the story in the Bible, where God kept the widow's oil pot filled even when they had used all the oil for the day. I really expect for my 13 year old van to bite the dust anyday, but He has kept it running without any problems during this time. We've still been able to go to McD's and a (very) occasional restraunt, we eat the same foods, not having to cut back in that area. Actually, we've had to buy more things b/c of Timothy - more diapers, snacks... He usually eats our food from supper that I just grind up, so that I don't have to buy jars of baby food.
God has taken good care of us and I am so thankful for that. It is such a wonderful feeling to know that God has done something specific for your family and it is He and He alone responsible for it. We would like for anyone willing to pray, to pray that our house sells soon.
