Hope Deferred...
Well, I didn't get the house. The bank decided to accept another offer. Whoever it was probably offered more than the asking price. I was really discouraged, so I decided to wait and get it together before I posted. Despite my disappointment, I feel extremely grateful to have my nice little duplex to come home to! For now, I am praying and asking God if there is a reason why every house we are interested in sells and why after answering all 14 of my requests, He chose not to give me the house! I may not ever know why, but before I give up, I am going to ask God if there is something He's trying to tell me.

One thing I have learned is that God gives us the best. He doesn't leave his children picking around with the leftovers on the floor, he gives us a feast at His table! Trust that He has the best house. Maybe this one was nice. Maybe it would do. Maybe it had what you wanted. But HE knows your future, He knows what you need, and what you want, and He has the best in store for you! I know waiting can be so hard and looong...but boy, when God acts, it is beyond what we could imagine! I'll be praying for you.
Thank you Anna.
You know, you'll look back at this post and tell yourself that it all made perfect sense. That's what always happens, right? Everything will work out perfectly and God has the most amazing house for you. It might not even be listed yet. ;-)
Because maybe Nathan will be transferred to Boonyville, and you will live by me. Hehe, no, I think it is to let you know he is affirming that He hears your desires, but also letting you know, that as my sister said, He will lead you to His best, which will blow your best right out of the water!
I can't wait!
