After 10 weeks on the market and 27 showings later, I think we may finally have an offer on our house. As of now, I still don't know what it is or if it will work, but I find it interesting that it comes only 2 days after we made an offer on a house as well. The house we made an offer on, well, for me, it's been the first house we've looked at that just felt "home" the minute we drove up.
You see I have been having these conversations with God about some of the more detailed aspects of our next home, as they are not something you can necessarily find on MLS. In my heart, I have wanted a country feel, even if in the middle of the suburbs. I wanted a taste of a more quiet and nature involved surroundings in my day to day life. I've had conversations with my Father about how much I would love both trees and a sunset view and how I know that I may be asking too much, but if my Lord wanted to give it to me, He would lead us to the right place.
I still don't know His will for this endeavor, and I trust and accept whatever His answer is, but I know I am in love with this place. It's not as big as we had been looking at, but the space is efficient and well laid out and I like it very much.
It's funny, the backyard is so important to us for so many reasons and that being the case, that is always the first place we go when looking at houses because we know the yard will make or break the rest of the deal for us. So, we went straight to the backyard at this place and WOW. First of all, this house is tucked away on a cul de sac and then the big bonus, behind the house is pasture land, no houses!! Over the fence you see nothing but trees from the pasture and because of the way the house faces, I would also have my view of not only the sunset, but the sunrise. Also, it is a clean slate for my gardening visions and bonus, it has a sprinkler system, something we have wanted.
The kitchen is a decent size and JOY, has double ovens. A big bonus given how much I love to cook!
It's all in God's hands and to boot, we will be leaving for the happiest place on earth soon as well to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary. Wouldn't it be so cool to get a house for my birthday chased by the magic of Disney?
Whatever happens, I trust God has our backs!
