Home, Sweet, Home ?

  So what makes a home?  I closed on the sale of my condo this morning at 9:30 and thought I'd leave there head to another closing of my new house and live happily ever after with my husband.  Not so much.   The closing today didn't happen.  There isn't a clear title on the house and you can't close on a house without one.  They have asked for a 15 day extension and therefore have 15 days to get a clear title or we can get out of the contract.  
  I have very mixed emotions.  I was in love with the house, sort of still am.  It's everything we want in a house.  All of the drama has left me in a bad spot.  A part of me wants them to delay the title issues and we can look for a new house.  But I know that it is unlikely that we'll find a house that we love as much as this one.  
  If it's meant to be our house then we will move in within the next few weeks...if God's plan is give us the perfect house then it will happen.  I know it's all for a reason, it happens over and over again in life and I've seen it more than once in my own.  
  Carey and I "moved in" to Ashley's house yesterday.  Today we moved all of our stuff out of the Penske truck and into Carey's Maw Maw's garage.  Thankfully it's not costing us anything.  It already cost us $311 for the truck, plus the approximately $1600 or so that we've already spent on the house thus far.  The good thing is that if it doesn't happen they will owe us all of our money back. 
   Carey just said "it feels weird to not have a house.  It's strange that we'll never go back to that condo again."  I had to tell him home is where the heart is.   So cliche' I know, but at this point it is the truth.  I sort of miss it already, probably because we don't have a real home right now.  Thanks be to God for Ashley (and all the friends that offered us a space) but she said it and her Mom said it, "that's what friends are for."  They are right.  I'd do anything for my friends and I'd expect they'd do the same.  They are doing the same.  :)  God knew what he was doing when he brought Ashley into my life or vice versa.  She is amazing.  
  Just like I have to for most events in my life I have to put total faith in God and trust that things will happen the way the should and we'll end up with the house we're meant to have and raise our family in, no matter which one and no matter what it took to get there.
  God's plan for us is perfect.  I just hope we don't have to climb anymore mountains...but then again it'll be totally worth it and I'll be appreciative of what I have. 


AMEN.   I'm ready for a house.  So thankful that we've got the condo sold.
