Story Time...

allow me to tell you a story. kick back, put your feet up, relax and get comfy...this is gonna be a long. oh, and you might want to put the kiddos to bed or grab a snack before you get started. i'm just sayin. anyway. after much heartache, delayed time, internet bandwidth and parts of my sanity, my house finally sold. it was an ordeal. one that i did not enjoy. needless to say, i'm glad it's over. i miss my house...i loved her. she was awesome and i have lots of memories surrounding her. but it was time to move on. as the selling process was underway, i began looking for a new house. found a fabulous one!! it had spunk. it had personality. it had tile floors!! well, two days before my house finally closed, someone put a contract on this house. i was sad. dreadfully sad. after much fussing, i concluded that this was not the house that God had intended for me even though i just knew it was the second i walked in. a few days later, i went house-hunting again. found another fabulous house. i wanted to think about it for a couple of hours and then make an offer. as we were getting back in our cars, my realtors phone rang and she was informed that someone had just put a contract on it. well, by now, i'm irked. disheartened. frustrated. really just wanting to punch a squirrel or any other small furry rodent. i decided to get away for a few days and visit my parents. the idea of looking at more houses just frustrated me. so i spent some time just being alive and having a good visit with the parentals. that brings us to this week. monday, i just worked and tried not to think about the fact that i was no longer a home owner with what seemed like no hope. tuesday, i decided to look at houses online again and there it was. the house that i had originally wanted. back on the market. i was stoked!!!!! i called my agent and asked her to get the scoop. she just about squealed right along with me. as it turns out the other buyers got cold feet and decided not to buy. they had the contract for just a little over a week. so i jumped. i'm still waiting to hear back from the sellers, but i feel good that i'm making a little progress.

i say all of that to say this...life happens not in our own timing, but in the Lords. He knows what's best for me and i know that He will provide when the time is right. so i'm sitting back and relaxing in His perfection knowing that all will be well. and that my highest expectations will be met. because He loves me just that much!!
