The Wait Continues....Sort Of

First off, we did not get the house we put an offer on. We found that out last Friday. It was sad not getting a house we wanted, but move on we must!

Since then we have looked at four more houses, one of them we saw last night. It's another foreclosure in a good area of town so it is sure to have many offers. Our plan is to put in our own offer but to keep looking as well. It's just the market we are in right now coupled with our own criteria (budget and area/location) that makes this house hunting mission difficult.

I am reminded again about the Philippians 4:6 verse that says I am not to be anxious. I am not to be anxious when waiting to hear back about an offer we've made. And I am not to be anxious about finding 'the one' when checking the home listings online. This is quickly becoming another exercise in my faith and less about finding a house. Now, I know I didn't pray for patience, however that is exactly where I find myself.....seeking the Lord and His direction and timing. Who said that being a Christian and living a life worthy of our calling is boring? Well, whoever said it, lied.
