The Hunt

The house hunt is....well, I don't know...a bit stagnant? We had a couple of houses we liked and put offers on, but both fell through. We're glad we can trust God because when something doesn't work out the way we thought it would, we are assured it's part of a good plan. His plan. What we've learned from not getting the first 2 houses is that we probably need to look in a slightly lower price range, so we have some room for negotiation and also so that we won't bite our fingernails off at every mortgage payment. See, God already used some of this process to teach us some wisdom! But now that we're looking for houses under budget we are finding that we may have to live in quite a small place. And we have to learn to be content with that notion. Sure, the Lord could still open the door (haha, get it?) to a larger home. But we need to be wise and obedient and content if we are led to a tiny house. After all, a small house here is still much nicer and larger than what most of the earth's population lives in. We have a wonderful realtor leading us through all of this, so we're very thankful for her.

And so, we're still looking for a home, trying not to stress, and enjoying this time of house hunting.
