House and Prayers

I keep thinking about our future home and the land that i want hasn't sold yet.. I'm starting to wonder if that land is meant to be for us.. :) I seriously thought it'd be sold by now.. its at a perfect location(in my opinion; still waiting on God's opinion or if he has something better for us).. its exactly what i want.. on the west side of town, on paved road and just right outside of city limit.. I asked Alex if we qualify for a loan, he is not sure, but I'm seriously considering it even more now.. I have been praying for direction/guidance.. I needed Him to lead/tell us what we should do.. I'm still not sure what His answer is but I've been sitting back patiently and waiting for something to happen.. Over the weekend when Alex was with his brother Ben, Alex came home telling me about something else he wants to do with our dream house, i think its a great idea and it gets us excited thinking about our future home. We talked about it on our way to and from Des Moines last night, not sure if we've ever been this serious about building a house before. Maybe b/c its more possible now after Alex's unexpected pay raise. We are taking this one day at a time and see where each day takes us as our house keeps getting smaller and smaller on us but surprisingly I don't complain as much as I used to.. maybe my patience will pay itself off.. :)

BUT no more kids(unless God decides to use His sense of humor and surprise us) til we have a bigger place, I'd love to have our dream home done before I have the next child so I can birth the rest of our kids in our permanent home. The less children, the easier it is to get your dream home! Right??

As I typed this, i glanced over to our parent prayer flip book sitting at the computer, here is what it says and this is for the day of Jan. 24th.. lol not sure why the date is way off.. :)

"Through His Word, God guides us, speaks to us, and reminds us He is faithful. In that way, He builds faith in our hearts and enables us to understand His heart. This helps us to pray boldly in faith, knowing exactly what His truth, His will, and our authority."

Just what I needed to hear/read.. :)
