Is it the yard? The square footage? The kitchen? The size of the bedrooms? The number of bathrooms and bedrooms? Or is it that it just feels right? Does one “fit” a house? After all our house hunting, I don’t know if I can even answer that question. No house is perfect, I do know that. When I walked into this house that we currently own, I loved it, but it wasn’t perfect. The yard was small, the carpet was “yucky”, and there were a few other things, but we fell in love with the open layout in the downstairs.
The new house that we are going to is much different. Instead of a 2 story house, it is a ranch. It has 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths like this one, but the bedrooms seem smaller. The “master bedroom” isn’t as big, I do know that, but it does have lots of cupboard space, a 2 car attached garage, and a yard! A yard was very important. We wanted space to “roam”. My husband said that he wouldn’t buy a house if there wasn’t room for me to have an office. We are excited about the new house, but really wish this house would sell. We have had a lot of people come through it, but no offers. We cannot purchase the house out there until this sells. We also have to figure out how on earth to carry the expenses from 2 houses at a time. Yikes!
Last night as I was laying awake, trying to sleep…my body was so exhausted, but I just couldn’t sleep…I spent time in prayer. I felt God tell me that He had it taken care of. He would sell the house and I didn’t need to worry about it. It has been a bit of a relief, but I still find it hard to just trust. It’s the whole concept of a living sacrifice crawling off the altar. Minute by minute, I give it back and ask Him to keep control of it.
I know it will happen. He has shown me that. Trust!
