Our tribe is moving back to town, we just don't know when or to where. We've been looking at homes for sale casually over the last 6 months or so. We haven't found a right fit and decided about 3 weeks ago we'd look for rentals instead. This new search had not yet yielded any promising possibilities. 2 weeks after we began looking (at rentals), the owners of our home informed us they were planning on listing the home. There is now a for sale sign in the yard and we are welcome to stay here during the interim. We weren't scared when they told us, just more motivated to continue our search.
Well, we looked at a home for sale last Friday and we fell in love with it. It caught us by surprise. We looked at it again on Monday and the love was revealed to be genuine. Some friends came along with promises to be honest and give it to us straight. They gave it the thumbs up. We placed an offer late Monday night and will hear back today. (I should mention we were the third family to take a second look on Monday and another offer was received as well.)
The house. It is things we've dreamed of, but never thought could be a reality. It is in town, older with character, in a great school district and on a small chunk of land larger than a postage stamp. The home has a mother-in-law next door. I have an out there dream of some day having a place to teach art and writing classes to kids. To begin with, we'd rent the lil house and use the extra income for expenses associated with home ownership. But, there is the option down the road to do so much with it! The main home has 4 bedrooms and a large flat grass space for outdoor play. It is perfect for us! It is beyond anything we could've imagined. Yet, we've asked God to slam the door today if this isn't His plan for us. So, we wait. In a mere 3 hours we shall know if we are moving forward or if the door was closed. Either way, we trust God has His best for our life. Either way, it's a good day.
