In His Hands....

That saying is so much easier to say than to actually believe, accept and allow yourself to own.

After searching (technically since January 25th when we faced the possibility that I'd be getting this job) for houses... five weeks later... upteen hundred online views of houses in our price range, and 39 physical views of houses in our range... we finally found one that we both love...

I post this with such trepidation... We really do love this house and are so nervous that our offer will not be accepted and that we'll be back at square one...

But, it is all in the Lord's hands.  He has a plan for us, this I do know.  I believe it.  I always have.  I told Ryan that I really felt that I would get this job when I was applying for it because "things work out for us" because we put our trust in Him and allow Him to guide us where He wants us...

I believe that He will do that with our house hunt as well.

It's just really hard to not worry about things or think constantly about the "what-if's" even when you know they're in God's hands and beyond your control...

We have been telling people about this house... more because we feel that the more we get people praying that they accept our offer (even though it is much less than they're asking for it) the better!!

So, if you have a moment, and yes, I do feel guilty for asking for these prayers while so many prayers should be going to Japan and those affected there, but if you have a moment, if you could say a little prayer that God guide us through this process and that our offer be accepted so that we can have a smooth transition moving...

The stress and pressure is on.  We have exactly 60 days to move out of this apartment!!!  60 days... WOW!!!

We really should start packing!!! Its hard to pack when you have no idea where you'll be living!!

(p.s. at some point, I really need to journal about all of the different places we've seen... foreclosures are not for the faint of heart or for those with weak stomachs... that's all I'll tell you!!)
