Housing Search

My Sweetie and I have been searching for a home to call our own for awhile. I'm actually embarrassed to say how long. My husband has his mind made up that he wants to live in a certain area which is out of our price range, but as time is passing, he's expanding his horizon to living in different areas. This reminded me of God's will in our lives. A side note, the idea of God's will for my life has always seemed so overwhelming but I had a thought all God's will is- is his gracious love for me. This has put things in perspective because I always saw God's will as something negative.

I know I can hold onto a dream or a want so tightly that I forget to keep my hands open to receive God's gracious love.

I know we'll eventually be in a home. This past week I found a Spanish style home that I absolutely loved. (Spanish and craftsman are my favorite type of homes) I was so excited. My mom loved it too.

When Tony went to see it, he pointed out all the things that were flawed with the home. Very practical things that I did not have the eye to see.

Initially, I was disappointed but the more I thought about it, he is absolutely correct. The timing wouldn't be that great considering we have a new baby coming in about 1 month. So, I will continue to keep my hands and heart open to God's gracious love for me and my family.
