Is there any chance that you would want to consider buying the house you are currently renting? Just a thought as you seem to be so happy there and the house is going up for sale.

This happened to my stepdaughter last year, 9 days after signing a lease to provide a home for her 3 young children the owners put the house into the hands of a different agent to sell the house. Her father told her to live in the house like it was her own and not to be cleaning every day for potential buyers to inspect, she also refused viewings at childrens dinner & bedtimes! She had to move 4 months later even though she had a signed lease.

Ususally things work out better tahn we expected because we are forced to rethink where we are going. The tapestry doesn't always look like we planned it to but I believe the change is always for the best.<br /><br />God bless, Jenny have a peaceful and restful Christmas take the time to just enjoy it. I'm sure the New Year will bring new challeneges & decisions for you & maybe a new direction.

Maybe you should start looking at homes again...Some owners will allow you to rent to buy. Meaning all the rent money you pay will be taken off the price of the home when you buy it. Will continue to keep you in my prayers.

It's a process to come to that point, once again, where we are one with him, because we are imperfect. We are still learning, and he is very patient with us. He knows your heart. He knows you will make the right choices. You needed to be in this home for a while ... how long is still unsure ... and you will find the next right thing, as you wait upon the Lord. It may even be that the new owners still want to rent the house and you don't go anywhere. Whatever happens, you are in the right place, at the right time, and good things will come because of this.

The same th...Oh Jenny, I know so well how you feel. The same thing happened to us two years ago. When we were told the owner wanted to sell the house we opted to find another place right away. The house we were in was a three story, and though it had lots of room for our "stuff", it was often difficult to constantly be going up and down the stairs for the least little thing ... not an easy task as I have fibromyalgia and it was quite painful. God was there and it took only one day to find a sweet, downsized one story home that we truly love and it's only five minutes to work for my precious husband. God has something special for you both ... more wonderful than before. On a side note, the house we left still sits vacant after all this time. Sad for the owner, but a sweet blessing for us to have left when we did. Hugs and blessings to you and yours.sillyhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15277290699283355081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-71113158622205118742017-12-20T03:00:43.979+10:002017-12-20T03:00:43.979+10:00Boy that was a slap in the face.

But I'm glad you found that attitude adjustment you needed to accept what is and go forward.<br />I feel for you though having to move again.

I went through the same emotions you did and came through it being closer to God and all of the family members who rallied around and helped me pack up and move. It is all in His plan and His time, even though at times our human nature rears its head and tries to take charge! My prayers are with you and your husband during all of this.
