I prayed every time I drove by. "God, I want this house...I want it bad. Give it to me" (not my exact words, but indeed the exact meaning behind them)<BR/>Day after day, he did not. <BR/>I changed my prayer..."God, make me hate this house, if it is not for me" (again, the meaning- but not-so-much the words I said)<BR/>He did not do this for me either. Instead...someone else bought it. <BR/>However my longings have changed. He did speak this to me, "Take care of what you have, and then I can show you more blessings" I looked at my backyard with grass knee high and thought... "Oh, all right."KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653467049412322327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003408206490292139.post-85151842393726963062007-08-20T10:16:00.000-07:002007-08-20T10:16:00.000-07:00No, I am anti stressed out Destiny.No, I am anti stressed out Destiny.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803563569862337327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003408206490292139.post-76655788590744591012007-08-20T09:28:00.000-07:002007-08-20T09:28:00.000-07:00you are so anti-house.you are so anti-house.Destinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321266512192671566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003408206490292139.post-3695720667415018842007-08-20T09:21:00.000-07:002007-08-20T09:21:00.000-07:00Wait, did I totally kill your dream?

And quit kidding yourself, its obvi...Aww, its cute. And quit kidding yourself, its obvious that you want a house badly, there is nothing wrong with that. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I would hope that, as long as you spend time waiting for His answer, God would make this one pretty clear, houses are a big commitment. <BR/><BR/>Apartments are nice, anytime there is a repair, its fixed. Appliances replaced for free. No yardwork. <BR/><BR/>Bigger utility bills...etc.<BR/><BR/>All I'm saying, is if you guys are happy with your apartment, then wait till you are ready, like, really ready. I would have stayed in my apartment if we didn't have to wear bullet proof vests when we went to sleep.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803563569862337327noreply@blogger.com
