The other house that I mentioned about a month ago, that offer didnt' come through. Some investor had a fistful of cash, so he won out over us. It was a tough couple of days after losing that house. True, it was never ours, so we didnt' technically lose it. I knew for sure without a doubt in my head, that God still has good plans for us, that His ways are higher, that He works all things for good, that He is conforming us to the image of His Son...it was just hard to work that knowledge down into my heart. And now as we still search for a house and as the deadline for the tax credit rushes toward us, I cling to this verse:
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13.
My hope will be in Him, not in getting a house. My trust will be in His good plans, not necessarily that He will provide a house within this short time frame. And my joy will be because I trust Him.
