God is teaching me a lot about myself. I would say that the past four years has really been culminating to this point, and I'm sure in 10 years, I'll say the same thing (and in 20 and 30). Either way, God has been slowly preparing me to be able to handle the situation that we're in. To most, it probably seems puny but to me it was monumental. In days gone by I would have totally lost all sensible reason and become the woman you wished only existed in horror movies. I don't deal with change or stress or unkowns well at all. This past week we've gone from being homeowners to house hunters, to bidding war participants to crazy kijiji house hunters and finally...home owners again (providing all conditions are met). Yes, we found a house. Yes, I found it on kijiji. Yes, it's totally legit. Yes, it's only of God.
My dream of living in an old character home is coming true. And I will be neighbors with my anatomy professor....and Nik only knows that she's a celebrity to me. *edit* Nik just told me that she was a celebrity to all of Thunder Bay. Haha, we joked tonight that we wanted the house the second we heard that she'd be living next door. This will be the home that Fiorito Foto will reside and hopefully flourish. It will be the house that we will have another baby. It will be where our home is.
But, above all these things, this will be the home where God lives. My prayer is that His name will be on the lips of all who reside there. Maybe our children will choose to follow Him there. Maybe others will be lead to the throne of Grace on 430 Ambrose St. I am so full of hope for this house, our home.
