The frustration is over.....

Well as you have been reading in many of my posts we have been living with friends for almost 5 months now. It has went pretty good but some pretty significant things have happened here that I just am really ready for a place of my own.
Well that is currently happening...
Last Tuesday afternoon we got a call from our realtor who told us that she had finally received the letter from the second lean holder and that the house was finally becoming ours. So that evening my husband and I spent some time going through color samples that we already had here at the house. On Wednesday I went shopping for the paint colors and we started working on the house. Wednesday afternoon we got a call that our closing was going to be scheduled for Friday afternoon. Yes we went from one weekend to not knowing what was happening and before the next weekend really hit we had a house in our name. Thank you Lord.
So this week has been pretty crazy with painting and cleaning and we will be moving in on Saturday which is before thanksgiving that I had asked God for.
Thank you Lord for answered prayer.

Frustration...

It has been a couple of weeks since I have written anything. So I thought I should take a moment and write again.
We are still living in the basement of our friends house. Still waiting on the house we have been waiting on for a couple of weeks. I don't know if it will ever happen. We should know soon. Well that is what we have thought for weeks. We have received two verbal agreements but not a written one yet from the second mortgage holder. Is this really where God wants us or does he have some other place for us. This is a question that is staying pretty constant in my life over the last couple of days, weeks, months. We have been living in this basement for 4 1/2 months and for that I am grateful. I am thankful that our friends opened their home and took us in. It is greatly appreciated. They still seem to be ok with us being here more than I am ok with being here. I have broken 2 glasses, a bowel with chilli soup in it that went all over their white carpet and couch(which I was able to get out), and last week their candle holders. I am just so ready for my own stuff. Stuff that if I break I can deal with that on my own. I know I probably sound selfish and I am sorry for that. I am just ready to have a home to call my own once again. A place where it doesn't matter where or what I do to it. Its my problem then.
Well lets see...
Some other things that have been taking place. Jabez was sick for like 3 weeks straight and then I thought he was finally better and would be able to go into the nursery on Sunday....that is until he had major diarrhea on Saturday. He ended up staying home with daddy because we didn't want to give everyone else his diarrhea. Well he did fine on Sunday then. So I thank God for that. I am hoping that he will remain healthy now.
We received a gift card from the church for Edwin being on the worship team this year. What a blessing that was.
As the holidays are coming closer and closer I am wishing even more for my own home. What a blessing that would be. It would truely be an answer to prayer. I know that a couple of posts back I mentioned something about I was trusting God that we would be in our home by Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is almost 2 weeks away. Is it still possible. I don't know, but I want to continue to trust God with it.
