Here's Your Sign...

As many of you know, I am a Horrible decision maker. I will avoid at all costs. However, I have been faced with many times in the last few years that I have been presented with HUGE, and usually unpleasant, decisions to make. I am happy to report that since God is in control and knows my fear of decision-making, he has guided me (sometimes by putting the answer in front of my face, literally) in making these tough choices.

Today was another one of those times when God said, "Here's you sign!"

My grandma has been in the nursing home for over a year now and her house has been sitting empty. Overwhelmed with the task of cleaning it and honestly avoiding it, I have turned my back on it for the most part. In talking with her lawyer recently, I knew that I was going to have to make some decisions regarding selling it vs. renting. Either way, I was going to have to clean it. Now this isn't light cleaning, she was a hoarder, hence my avoidance. Still, I was content to let it be until pushed to do something.
Out of nowhere today her neighbor called. Unfaithfully I was expecting the worst. She called to see if I'd be interested in renting it to her mom, who is moving back to help her with her children since her husband has been deployed to Iraq. She wants to rent it, will handle the upkeep, and possibly purchase it if I need to sell it for monetary reasons.

God, thank you once again for making this decision for me, and for forcing me to face the clean up.

Now all I need is a cleaning crew. Any takers?
