Browsing through other peoples homes, seeing whats out there, looking at their decorations and imagining your stuff in its place, picturing your family at the kitchen table or in the back yard playing... it all sounds so fun.
Until you start. And then it isn't that fun at all.
We've been house shopping for over 3 months now and let me tell you how over it I am.
I'm over the disagreements between my husband and I. He loves one house, I can't stand the layout. I love another house, he doesn't the potential.
I'm over the disappointment after being turned down by a seller, or by getting my hopes up on the way to the house, only to find a complete dump.
I'm over the stress of it all.
But most of all... I'm over this rental house.
Jaxon is over it too.
As ready as I feel, I also am trying to find peace in The Lord's plans... HE knows way better than I do! There's a reason we haven't found that house yet, and I am (deep breath) trying to rest in His perfect timing.
Pray for us, if you think of it! I can't wait until I have some happy news to share, hopefully sooner than later.
:)
I hope you find the perfect house soon, Megan. Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteYou will get the right house for you and it will all be worth it. It's a good thing to be picky and it will pay off! Exciting times!
ReplyDeleteIt can be SO frustrating and disappointing, but I'll ditto Julia that being picky will pay off. Hang in there friend - I bet God has a kick butt plan in store. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so stresseful house shopping. My little piece of advice is: Don't Settle! Keep looking until you are 100% happy. That little thing that irks you while walking through a potential house will irk you for all the years you live in that house. Be picky :)
ReplyDeleteOn another note - how adorable is Jaxon in that pic? The bowtie - I die.
