Let’s talk about “God things” and life. I have spent the last 48 hours searching for houses for us to lease. (We just aren’t ready to buy again.) I have been in some very interesting places. There was one that advertised as a 5 BR 2 BA w/ full downstairs and second kitchen. Unfortunately rose colored glasses were not given out at the beginning of the house tour. Scary. The lizard downstairs was cute, but we have enough pets. Another advertised as a 3/2 with a mother-in-law apartment downstairs. Beautiful hardwood floors and I loved the built in cabinets in the dining room. Small master bedroom, and tiny bedroom downstairs. We went upstairs and it had the most adorable banister and sitting area…with a claw foot tub and toilet. Exactly what they were thinking on that old house update I don’t know. There was another “bedroom” upstairs, but we couldn’t get past the hall bathroom. There’s just something to be said for walls. We looked at SO many houses and narrowed it to two. One was in the school zone we wanted and in a great neighborhood. It had the size and yard we wanted, but it also had a list of applicants. The owner wasn’t ready to make a decision. The other was a small house about 15 minutes out near water. Great backyard with privacy fence. Not in a familiar school district and a little further out than we want to be right now, we declined. The house hunt seemed hopeless, but we had to have faith that there was something out there for us. I had written down the number of a realtor but no other note so I called and it turned out that there was a house available for rent, but they had someone interested if all factors fell into place. He also wasn’t too excited we had pets, but was willing to meet me first. (If I had remembered his ad that said no indoor pets I wouldn’t have called.) I went to the realtor to go look at it, but when I got to the company he had just received the call that the other couple wanted it. However, he knew of someone who had a house. It wasn’t advertised, but he checked and she wanted to show it to me. When we drove up I knew it was it. It is better than the others we looked at and it is in a great school district. Fenced yard, bedrooms, baths, bonus room…considerably cheaper. I am SO happy!

Today I haven’t really worried about the fact that I haven’t found a high school position. It has been frustrating me. I checked my email tonight and received something asking if I was still interested in a position. YES! We’re praying this is the one…join us

You know, the doors are opening and we are walking through them. Our opinion…definite God thing.
