Aug. 2, 2005 - The roller coaster ride

Welcome to my first blog!

My husband and I put an offer on a house today. This whole house hunting process has been a roller coaster experience for us. We were so excited about this house, about its potential, about the space in the house, about having an actual homeschool area. And I still love the house. But I hate the uncertainty of the whole process. I was fine until I heard that there is another offer on the table for this house. Now I'm at the bottom of that roller coaster.....we might not get the house. Then we have to start looking again. I hate the process of looking at houses.....it's so time-consuming and the kids complain and I have to keep reminding them to "don't touch anything!" the whole time we're in a house. It's hard on them and it's hard on us.

So I've spent a good part of today praying that we get this house.....then praying, "But Your will be done, Lord. But I *really* like this house."

I feel like a kid. My kid. "Mom? Can I have a hamster?" "We'll see." Two minutes later: "Can I have a hamster? I'll be really good." "We'll have to see." Five minutes later: "Mom? Can we get a hamster?" Sigh.

I hope God doesn't get as aggrevated with me as I sometimes get with my kids. "Lord? Can I have that house? Please, Lord, I really like that house! I understand if we don't get it, but I REALLY like it, Lord. Can we have that house, pretty please?"

We'll know something tomorrow, good or bad. I feel that roller coasting moving up the track now. Yep, this is quite a ride!
