Facing two great challenges

The new year has brought nothing but challenges thus far. Being displaced from our home and living the “Suite Life” was something I deemed difficult, yet I have come to find that living away from all that is familiar and comfortable is a blessing in disguise. God has really taught our family to live with necessities. To see the four of us thrive in the last two months is something I never would have imagined in our given situation. To see the hand of God stretch beyond what my mind can fathom and to believe in the same promises of the scriptures as true to this day and applied in our own life allows such hardships to point to His true glory alone. It is humbling in so many ways and through such experiences comes purpose.

The truth of the matter is what is most difficult at this moment is waiting for our dream house to become a reality. House hunting is not necessarily as simple as picking out a new outfit, from what we hear that is. Some have looked at hundreds and have taken years to finally make an offer. Fortunately for us, the first house we looked at was the one (similar to how fast we rushed into marriage ;p) Perfection indeed. Because of such standard, no other compared. Finding the one, falling in love, making an offer on a short sale beauty and waiting, waiting, waiting.

It’s strange how the process of purchasing a house takes longer when the commitment is only thirty years. We didn’t even have to wait long for marriage and children for that matter; that’s a life time commitment!

My two greatest challenge…my impatience and Math.

I am my own worst enemy.

Note to self: If it’s not this house, then this one wasn’t perfect after all. The perfect house is the one God will bless us with and the one we will call home. In regards to Math…the only thinking standing between you and Math is YOU!
