In the very Awe of God

Just another Monday was it only a week since we got a contract on our house and is it only another Monday! What can happen in little over a week! Monday I awoke thinking what do I need to get done today! We had gone to Church on Sunday and I saw in improvement and a really nice couple showed up to help with our Sunday School class. It was very nice to see them since we had a larger class and we needed the extra help with each one of the children. It was also nice to have a Man came who was a take charge man to help with the young ones in our class the children responded to authority of a man! Then we left feeling blessed and I had lunch with my Husband at the Red Oak Grill a very nice place that is run by Christians from Israel. I find some most amazing God moments happen there for me! Then we came home and Keith went to check the fifth wheel and one of the slides needed fixing! Finances had been complexed over last week with all the extra expense of moving back and forth to the house and beginning to purchase needed day to day items. Life was complex Keith and I had discussed a neighborhood but it was not everything we had been looking and the drive would not be easy for him and I had sensed a reluctancy for us to move there.  There was only one house that could be a possibility but we knew it would take new floors and the entire house needed painting and there was sense of sadness but I thought with Gods help I could make it look good and have to finance a little but it would be enough for us to pay it off quickly like a truck!  So I felt the urgency to go see it even if Keith could not come. So I called our realtor and said Could she help me see it! She said She had a Dr. appointment for her daughter at noon and was not sure how long it would take and I said I would really like to do it today actually I was a little forceful and I felt guilty for putting her in a bind but I though I was not sure what else to do. So I said Why don't you make the appointment from four to six this afternoon. Feeling guilty for pushing her if her child was ill. She had told me she had hoped to go out of town for a few days with her Husband for Valentines to San Antonio and I felt urgency the way houses were going off the Market that I needed to act now. Again feeling guilty for forcing her to show me something I knew I could not make an offer on today for my house had not closed. So at three oclock she called and said we could see the house at 4 o'clock I immediately called and Keith and he decided to meet me at the house. Keith and I arrived at 3:45 he had an easy ride on the Beltway and he was glad he came! The man had not left the house yet so I stood outside with Keith discussing the neighborhood and as we Watch the Mothers all wait for their Children and let them rollerblade! I though this neighborhood feels alive with Children and met a little girl named Heidi and her Mom had Faith and Breast cancer T-shirt she was the age of my children. She said she lived there for Ten years and she loved the neighborhood that she had a lot of good friends there. I thought how Blessed for years I have just been acquaintances with mine. Then I look up and a New house had appeared on the Market over the Weekend and the funny thing was it was the very house I had pointed out on Thursday to my girlfriend last week as I showed her the Neighborhood as we drove through it I had wanted her opinion if she thought it was the one for me. She said Oh yeah this place has Sharon written all over it. My daughter had told me about the neighborhood. So knowing the only house would take a load of cash to fix up I had decided I would go for the broken so for days I had thought no matter how broken down I like the neighborhood well enough to live in a Home Owners Associations.  The house that appeared was already painted the color on the outside I love the porch was beautiful and had a place for rocking chairs and a front porch swing a old dream of mine. It was nicely landscaped and I walked in it had hand scraped wood floors and cute little set of black french door which I had consider in my house at one time. The dining room could have a walk out of French doors to the side yard and had lots of storage area. A small living area still with a corner fireplace and a cute Kitchen which had new stainless except fridge. Which I had to purchase last week.  A small laundry room with a walkout to two car garage. Fifth wheel would have to be stored and   A adorable window seat in the Master and the Master had been partially remodeled new share and three nice bedrooms one great for a sewing room and one for sleeping guest and a Bedroom big enough for a small media room. Then the best part was a screened in back porch of the Kitchen that looked on to a Lake with a fountain but a small backyard.but a great side yard for a Rose garden.  Keith and I almost ran through the house like children after looking at the first house and wonder if we would have enough money to fixed it up! This one had almost everything on our wish list and I walked in the door and said God made this happen for I had driven by the house and thought they house looks to good to be true like a dream. Sure does it have a few faults but don't we all!  It felt so much like it was Good home and home where God had lived in and his presence was near. I hope it is in Gods plan for me to have it but if it is not we wrote and offer for full price to sellers but we have to close on ours first! I know I have done all I could do and if it is Gods will that we live there then it will happen! I like it but only if it is what God wants for us! I know it is not the last house on earth and God may other plans for us all ! I trust God to hold my future! I know his ways or better than mine! Just like I know he also placed me as the first person to look at that house I know not what his plans are but I thought  I would like to be the Grandmother figure in so many children in that neighborhood I might could even bake cookies and tell them all how wonderful Jesus has been to me in my life and watch them all grow up in that neighborhood . I always like the thought of being a Grandmother to many children but God may decide those children need another friend to live next door and that is ok too!  I may mumble a little while but in the end I know My Father in Heaven has me in Awe whether I get that house or not! One of the most joyful things I had seen in a long time was my Husband excited about a place and saying immediately he wanted that house after five seconds of walking inside. So God plan is in action lets just see what he has planned. Only he could have made yesterday happen and He knows what my tomorrow brings but one of the sweetest gifts of seeing the house was The pure Joy on my Husband face as he said this feels like home! That smile was worth a million houses on his face for lately he was looking perplexed and bewildered and unsettled and a saw a dream come alive in him again! He did not look bird with his wing broken but like he could fly!
