Yesterday, I took the day off from work to take Nathaniel to the doctor to have his ears rechecked (he has had an ear infection) and to look at more houses with Del. We wanted to see the last few on our list that are within our price range. We saw a couple of houses for a second time and then saw one house for the first time. That last house was the one! I know that they say that it is the last one because you stop looking after that, but this really was the LAST one. Other than new listings we receive each day, we've looked at everything we can afford that matches our search criteria (at least three bedrooms, two bathrooms, etc.).
The last house was perfect, or near perfect anyway. It has all of the space we want at a price we can afford! However, it is in foreclosure, and there is already one bid on it. We put in a bid anyway, and we hope that we will win the house. Now it is in God's hands. I know that everything happens for a reason. Maybe we didn't see this house sooner because it's not meant to be. Or maybe we didn't see the house sooner because being the second bid puts us in a better position to win the house. I don't know right now. God will reveal that in time. We hope to hear from the bank handling the foreclosure by the end of the week, but the bank may not respond that quickly. Regardless, I know that God is in control, and I am trying hard to let Him be. I don't want to get my hopes up, to make any plans yet, but I really, really, really want this house!
Please have your perfect will, Lord! And help me to understand if this house isn't part of Your will. Amen
