Even at its smoothest, house hunting seems to be a long and tedious process.<br /><br />I wish you all of the luck in the world in having it eventually work out. <3Kelsea Echohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776601093852299186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573980967681508382.post-48212636921487578072012-09-03T13:25:47.511-04:002012-09-03T13:25:47.511-04:00Hey there!

I've bought me a house or two, and you're right, it's totally one of the most stressful events in someone's life. The best I can say is: hang in there, don't settle, but also have realistic expectations. Love your future home. And if you can't love it completely, settle with liking it a lot and transforming it into someplace you LOVE. My mom once said the right house will come along. Be patient. .... and it did!Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062440085243465285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573980967681508382.post-19556480492827140322012-09-02T09:51:24.347-04:002012-09-02T09:51:24.347-04:00The struggle of the unknown is a universal place w...The struggle of the unknown is a universal place we have all been and will probably visit again. The danger is not in the struggle but is in what we think about God as we struggle. He is at work behind the scenes and as people of faith we must trust His goodness all through the journey. To walk with Him is to trust Him when all seems hopeless because we know it isn't hopeless at all. To live life well is not to have no struggle but to hold tightly to the One who is in charge of it all AND to humbly accept that these very struggles must occur to produce perseverance and perseverance must have its good work....the fact is, we NEED these struggles....that's the hard truth of this life. Struggles make us more like Him and that's the goal from His perspective...to conform us...to change us bc we need changing...and all of this is done from a loving, perfect Heavenly Father's perspective. He is making a masterpiece of you. Love you and will continue to pray for your peace. We must love God for Himself and not what He can give us.....I've been meditating on that one for a while :)Jackie Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817700476441898813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573980967681508382.post-50627431962958590442012-08-30T16:14:02.481-04:002012-08-30T16:14:02.481-04:00Oh Sarah, it will happen but you're right the ...Oh Sarah, it will happen but you're right the in-between can really suck. I get the same way a lot of times, getting down because I'm down and there are so many people out there in way worse situations than I...and I know that but still can't help feeling down.<br /><br />Stay positive, it will all work itself out. I'll say a prayer on your behalf for extra measure :)Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971452292683370931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573980967681508382.post-31836587444175130342012-08-30T11:13:23.351-04:002012-08-30T11:13:23.351-04:00I'm so aware of how stressful that process is ...I'm so aware of how stressful that process is and I was fortunate to be able to buy my house in the town I was living in. I can't imagine the stress and frustration you're living with because not only are you not in the same town OR state, you're across the country! Girl, I can't imagine. But I understand. You have a right to those unpretty temper tantrums and bed times that make me green with envy. Hahaha it's OKAY. Keep your eye on the prize and know that the right thing will come along. God's got this. He has that perfect house right there waiting for you and when it comes along you'll both sigh in relief. I hope this weekend and following week are much less stressful friend!
