I am over the moon with excitement about going house hunting!! I never thought we would be at this point again with all that has taken place. I could not have known we would be going through all we did well over a year ago when we finally just picked up and moved form the Wagoner house but GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL THROUGH IT ALL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD WEAK MOMENTS!
The funny thing about things having taken as long as they have is that John and I both have a greater understanding of what exactly we do want--things that seemed so important 1 and 2 years ago no longer matter. Our family size has shrunk so we don't need as much space as we thought and living with some features that we thought we would just love has turned out for me to be things I really could live without ( like hauling laundry up and down stairs--ugh!!).
God has been so faithful to listen to me whine and complain about this and that and of course He has also had some times in which HE needed to remind me that my place in life is to grow where I'm planted which was not what I really wanted to do a lot of the time. Through all of this I have mastered the art of appreciation in ways I never had before and so I would gladly go through all of the past again just to have that valuable lesson learned.
We have a short list of about 7 houses to go see --so far none stood out as something we were head over heals about but I think that is because we have come to value the love that goes into making a house a home and not just the outside structure. I really believe with all my heart I can be happy with whatever house we do end of buying ( even if I have to spend the next 16 years hauling laundry upstairs-lol!!).I'm ready to bloom where God wants us planted and enjoy the growing season.
