Now that summer break is here, and I am no longer handcuffed to a computer, I am taking advantage of my free time. I am stil around, but not on the cpu as much. I think I have not even typed on a keyboard in two weeks. It is refreshing to have time off--definately a perk of the job :)
Thanks for caring everoyne :)
Greg and I have been starting to seriously house hunt. I forgot how stressful it can be. There are so many things to consider--especially future family plans. It is such a big commitment to. It makes me sick to think about it. We looked at three houses this weekend and drove by countless others. How do you know if God wants you in a certain house or not. Does he even care where you live?
It just seems like a house is a speck on God's plan for your life. you can impact the people around anywhere you live. So, does the house really matter?
Everyone says pray about it, pray about it...ok. What am I waiting for. An open door? What if the door opens and its not the right one.
AHHH! we just started this, and already I am stressed out.
About Me
- Jennifer D.
- Michigan, United States
- Life is full of twists and turns. Sometimes you don't know what is waiting for you around the corner, and other times you think you know. As I enter a new phase of my career, I am nervous yet excited to teach little ones. I am only a year away from my masters in administration, so that is exciting too. My son is quickly approaching the two year mark, which is insane. Even more hard to comprehend is the fact that I have been married six years and with my husband for nearly 11 years!! CRAZY! See, life is full of things you would never expect. God has all these plans for you that you would never see coming.

Hey, i'll be praying for you to get wisdom from God. I hope everything is going well, it seems like you must be having a good summer since you aren't ever on. :) Take care!
Jen, I don't think God honestl cars about "where" you live or "what" house you purchase. I do believe that he cares about "how we go about it. Meaning are we stretching ourselves more than we should? Are we getting in over our heads? Will the house we are looking at cause not not to be bale to honor God with at least a tithe of what he has given us as well as being to respond to the needs of others.
The finances we have is not really ours so we should manage and spend it the same way, so we can be generous on all ocassions. Just my thoughts.....
Thanks for your comments guys! I am having a great summer-it has went by so quickly.
Our first objective in finding a house was that we only wanted to have a payment of X amount of dollars, which allows us to continue being generous. Continual tithing is something we need to work on. We do it, but not all the time.
FYI--we found a house and will be closing on it in the next couple weeks. It was below the price we were hoping for, Thank God!! Just keep praying that the stress doesn't rule our lives. There is so much to do!
