Our future home.....

House hunting, as we all know, is sometimes, a living hell. Yep, I said it. Oh well....sometimes it can be the truth when it comes to trying to find a home.
We are on the "hunt", b/c a home that we really desired, in a beautiful neighborhood, close to school and church...well, fell through the cracks. Yeah, the crackity-cracks! ugh!

We were beginning to be "strung" along, I guess you could say and we didn't want to get tied up with something that seemed so 'unpredictable'....so we have felt peace about letting the house go and starting the search again. yuk! But yet, there is something in my spirit that tells me, GOD HAS SOMETHING BETTER.

So now, it's the waiting game. However, we were hoping for something to find sooner than later, as Garrett begins preschool next month. Our hope was to get beyond the chaos of portsmouth/norfolk tunnels and hopefully start our fall school year in greenbrier....but yet, once again, God apparently has a different or better (i hope) plan for us.

For now, all I know to do is to trust God with all the details. It's hard to do that, b/c in reality, we don't make much money, so we can't afford much......so my dream home, will have to wait.
Five yrs of marriage & two amazing little boys....our dream home w/ a yard might just have to wait a little longer. God-willing, I pray, it's sometime this year, we can at least find something closer to school...etc. For now, like I said, all I know to do is trust.

Trusting isn't easy, especially when life hasn't been easy. We haven't been handed things on a 'golden platter'.....we've had to endure much and work hard. Which is honestly, the way it should be. But even working hard...doesn't mean earthly riches.....it's kingdom blessings.

I'm going with that for now....whatever God desires and wants, is what I want. JC and I are determined to do whatever we need to do, to have a heart like God. If that means, sacrificing, living below our means, not "keeping up with the jones's"....than that's what we'll do.

If nothing else, being content right where God has us.....is what I'm going to do.

Our future home....is in God's hands, not ours.

P.S. this photo is something I've always dreamed of....one day, maybe, one day....
