Wishing Will Make It So

So about a month ago we decided we were going to move. Sean and Marisela convinced us Oregon was beautiful and we felt we were supposed to go. So we started getting ready, all our things were already packed but we had a huge storage shed and decided we couldn't move all that stuff, so we had a yard sale three weeks in a row and sold most of it. After selling the bulk of what we wanted to sell, my husband came to me and said we aren't supposed to leave so the last weekend we hiked up prices on things we wanted to keep so they wouldn't sell. Then I convinced him to sell his lawnmower cause it was ugly. So now we're staying, I have no house, no kitchen dishes, only half of my desktop computer, and absent so many things that I really thought were necassary for living. Now I realize most of that stuff was extras with exception to the house and the kitchen dishes. I think god was showing me for the last several months that I need to be more humble, I pray but not when I don't need something. I can remember when I was first married praying about everything,I would pray when I lost the car keys, or when the washer didn't work, and sometimes I would just pray because I wanted to. It was like an ongoing conversation with god, as I went through the day I would just continually pray about this or that, but several people made fun of me, saying that's why god didn't answer some of their prayers cause he was so busy with my nonsence and I didn't even realize it, or when but I quit. I got to where if I didn't want or need something then I didn't talk to god. So now that I realize the mistake I have been making it should be easy to rectify right? WRONG!!! Because I have gotten into the habit of only talking to god when I want or need something I have to make myself remember to just pray. I have to work on it everyday, and it's easy to get back in the rut again, but now I know what my problem was. It has taken five months of not having my own home to figure out why my prayers weren't being answered, but now I think I've got it. We may move away in the future but right now god is still showing me things in this place and I need to learn these lessons, and then maybe we will move. But I want god to be in the decision. I have a hard time learning the lessons I'm supposed to sometimes, but when I finally learn it I don't forget very easily.
