Sometimes it seems to hard to make decisions.  At least when you really want to do what is best and wise.  We went on our "date" if you could call it that .  My husband coughed the whole time....we both actually have bronchitus...his is close to pneumonia.  But he still wanted to go out.  We just don't know if we should wait out the spring/summer to see how much money comes in (that is our busy season) and TRUST GOD to keep the house for sale....or bring a better one.  OR if we should make an offer and TRUST GOD to bring the extra income in that we need for the bigger house.  Either way we are trusting.  It is "easier " or safer to stay where we are.  But it seems so hard to really set money aside to save ahead.  It seems like the extra bills of the house could bring more stress to our family....and yet it might be that God is waiting for us to take this step of faith to bless our family.  It isn't everyday that you can find a house comfortably big enough to house 9 people, homeschool, and feel like you could have company over anytime.   The more I think about it...I think He just might be waiting for us to make this move......hmmm.   If you are reading this please pray for us.  We don't want to be foolish.  We don't want to add to the defaulting housing loan problem that our economy is seeing right now. 

My husband actually wants to contact the owner of the house.  He is a doctor....already moved out of state.  The house is empty.  He is asking a reasonable price for the house.   The house has been forsale for about 6 months.  BUT....he wants to tell him our situation.  How it is the perfect house for us....but how our income would be really stretching it to meet the payments.  He is hoping the guy will have compassion and lower the price.  It would be a miracle. 

But.....I think it is time for a miracle!
