House Search: Shreveport

The following are my thoughts on the process so far and what God is doing in my heart.

Last night after the kids were in bed we got a call from our future land lord. She told us her current tenants would not be moving out but staying another year as their house buying closing fell through. At first I thought Ross was joking with me because we have been looking at houses for the past month. This one, lets call it house B, we found right before we were going to sign a lease for a house, house A, that we would have to make adjustments for and we thought lets look one more time to see if there is one that would be better for our family. We found house B during this search, contacted the number which was this sweet lady landlord who owns house B. The dates we could move in were perfect. The rent was on point, the house was perfect, the neighborhood, proximity to schools etc. etc. were perfect.

So now we are back at square one. Thinking of buying a house and still looking at rentals. We did a virtual walk through today for a house we could buy. Even though this may sound negative it's not. I am at peace with the fact that house B didn't work out because I know God is in control. He must have a different plan. So we prayed last night about our house situation in Shreveport and we will continue to pray about it until it's over. Also being up front, we prayed about house B and house A but it was not the same as the prayers last night. And the prayers going forward will be different too. All of this to say we learned from this process and are grateful for the blessings we have. Thank you God for being here when we are disappointed something didn't work out the way we planned. Please show us what you have planned and help us to be joyful, grateful, and praise you for all things. Even things we don't understand.
