All in time

You might say that Brittany and I are spiritual; at least we try to be genuine in our worship. Looking back, we have realized that there are times in our lives when we feel God’s spirit guiding or inspiring us as our lives unfold. This is one of those moments.

A few years back we began discussing when we should buy a home. After the big housing market crash, we thought, wow, know is our time to buy a home that we can afford, and at a fraction of what it might have been valued at a year prior. We looked at a few homes, thumbed through a few house magazines, but never felt comfortable with the idea. The timing wasn’t right.

About two weeks Brittany and I both felt like now might be a better time to buy a home. We’ve been thinking about it, and have felt surprisingly more at peace with the idea of purchasing a home. Within a relatively short period of time, we have acquired approval for a loan, hired a realtor and are now ready to begin making offers on a home. It has been amazing to both of us at how fast things can come together when the timing is right.

For those who are faithful, the Lord has promised, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.” (The Old Testament, Malachi 3:, 10-12)

That is so exciting, I can't believe I had to read your blog to find that out. Only sad part, your home will be in Utah, my home is in California. That's ok because we both know what state your heart's in.
