Not gonna lie... really disappointed about tonight. God definitely has plans for me that I don't know about. (PS: Man up stairs, please feel free to share your master plans for me in my dreams tonight. That would be simply lovely!)
We had a schedule for our first house showing at 6:30pm. This house was an amazing cape cod with all the charm in the world, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an amazing 2700 sq feet! (A little too much room for us but that wasn't the down fall!). Basically it was my dream house if I could draw one up on paper. It was slightly out of our price range; however it was a banked owned home and we thought we might be able to offer lower.
Well around 4:45 I get a call from our realtor saying she has bad news. She said the house that we were going to look at tonight has been put under contract this afternoon. My heart dropped. I was so upset because for the first time all my ducks were starting to line up in a row; however this one got lead astray.
But I have to look on the positive side of things. As I would tell Steve, look at it with the glass half FULL!!! So 1: God is holding out on an amazing house that he has in store for us. 2: Maybe if we would have gotten 'that' house we would have dough in deeper than we thought and in the long run would have been in financial trouble. 3: What if we made an offer and had to wait for 3 months to just receive disappointing news. It's better to find out now, rather than after waiting for 3 months. 4: We are lucky enough to even have a home to live it at the moment and should be thankful for my parents who don't charge us rent. 5: We still have each other.
So on the flip side of things.... it’s back to square one. I'm wondering when I asked God to open the right doors for us and close the ones that need to be closed, I really should have been more specific. :) All jokes aside, we will take this house hunting another day by day and hopefully one of those days God will unmask the beauty that we have been waiting for.
