House Hunting

so we have continued our house hunting and it has been a roller coaster, to say the least. from excitement, to nervousness, questioning yourself, and then disappointment, it's enough to make me want to live in a cardboard box! as a friend says, at least then you know you won't be in a bidding war over the box. i never thought that this process would be this hard. we've been excited about doing this for so long, and now i just want it to all be over with! patience is definitely a virtue that i could use right now. a little sunshine would also be nice.

searching

so d and i have looked at a couple of houses, and after researching information on loans and down payments, decided if we saved for a few more months, we would be better off. of course, after we say this, we find the house of our dreams. okay, maybe not "our", but mine, at least. we've looked at it twice, and while d seems to have come around on some of the features that he didn't care for, it's still so scary. we just really don't know where to go from here. before we even started looking, we just bathed this whole process in prayer. it's something we have looked forward to for so long and now i just want a clear answer. it feels like i'm in the same place that i was this past summer when i was looking for a job and i know that God blessed me with more than i could have ever imagined. i just need to have that same faith and trust in Him that i did such a short time ago. how quickly i forget the power and sovereignty of our God!
