We have been renting a three bedroom house 20 minutes from work and school for 2 years now. We have since had baby number four and have noticed the house getting smaller...or at least it seems that way. We searched for several months within a 5 minute radius of church/school never to find the perfect place for the right price. We had taken a break over the Christmas holiday on the search. Right after new years, my husbands boss approached him with a house that the president of the company had for rent. He started telling him about the place, three bedrooms and still 20 minutes aways from our life. "Sorry, not interested." The same afternoon my husband felt a conviction to go ask more about the house. Ok so his boss was wrong it was a four bedroom 2700 square foot house! The house was right ... just the wrong location. So of course I protested! After several days I gave in and fell in love with it. Plus we were saving $400 a month on the rent compared to the houses we were looking at closer to church/school.
We had prayed for God to provide a house with four bedrooms and a bonus room so we could have the space we needed to be comfortable. He gave it to us...at a discount! For whatever reason, God doesn't want us closer to church/school. We don't know the reason yet but I cannot wait to find out!
