Okay, this weekend we made what we thought was going to be the last trip to the old house to gather the rest of our JUNK. Well little did we know that all the rain and storms in the past week would leave us a nice little surprise in the basement...I am sure you can guess the suprise. Water. Can't stand it, can't live without it! Thankfully most of the basement was empty, it just really stinks and our wood floor is completely destroyed. I think back to how hard my husband labored on putting that floor down, it made me weep.
It must have just been a day for weeping, because it finally sunk in for both of us that we had just walked away from a house for the second time. All the hopes and dreams gone. Where did we go wrong? Did we just buy a house that needed to much work? Did we even belong there to begin with? Did we spend too much money? So many questions that just don't matter anymore. We are out and hopefully can sell to avoid the looming foreclosure. What a long 8 months down there away from family, friends and the most needed church fellowship. Thanks be to God that he puts us where he wants us, sets our crooked path straight.
Right now I am thankful for:
- Jesus
- My husband that loves when I really don't deserve it.
- My beautiful children that don't know how much I love them.
- Family both near and far! (I love you Dad!)
- A home to rent that is only 3 years old!
- Sovereignty of God.
- Knowledge of TRUTH
I know there is much more than that, but that is all for now.
