More Housing adventures

Well, I'm not sure if any of you have been keeping up with our housing ups and downs, but if you are things have yet again changed. I've realized that I'm wanting things to happen in my own time and not His. Once I realized this, I just set back and said Lord, I'm ready to go wherever you want us, if it's here, then that's fine, if it's not, that's okay too. So many things I think are going to work out and don't. We've found a couple of houses, rental and otherwise, and for some reason each one has fallen through. The housing grant is also not going to happen for us right now, and as bummed out as I am with that, I realize that it's in the Lord's hands and he has other plans for us right now.

Tomorrow we go and talk to a guy about a 4 bed/2 bath trailer in the country. We got to go today and look at the land, it has 1-1/2 acres with it, and looked in the windows of the trailer. The rent is very reasonable and will be 200 dollars less a month than what we're paying now, that alone makes it very favorable. I will say that my first reaction was it's a junk yard, because all we could see was stuff laying all over in the yard, and 2 goats in the front yard (from the neighbor's house), but once we got up there, the trailer was very nice. And the guy said he would be cleaning up the junk and putting skirting on the trailer. He said he just bought this property and it was left like this. It also has a really nice chicken coop with the fencing already. It has a barn and I guess what I would call a hay barn.

I'm really excited about this place. I'm hoping this is the one, but I've learned not to totally get my hopes up. Best of all my husband really liked the place and he is still kind of leary about living in the country. I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow and if you wouldn't mind saying a little prayer for us, I would really appreciate it. This will not be a permanent home, but it will be a start to our dream. Blessings,

Sara
