Because that's what we're looking for too, so I can imagine the feeling of loss. But also because we are so far from where you are even now. Where that sort of thing is even possible. Despite the philosophizing I know you're going to continue to nurse some disappointed. But you should also take heart. Because you are almost there, just by virtue of being where you are.

The dissapointment I felt over and over last fall resonates. I finally came to not give a crap (6 mos pregnant and dealing with too many family members involved in our decision) and unfortunately settled on a home in a neighborhood that is so not what I thought it would be. I mean, it appeared to be what we were looking for - I thought it was right up there with my 'dream,' but living in it, I've been let down - partly by myself, as I had grown impatient. My life lesson is to not do that anymore, to live in a state of impatience. I still do, of course, and this lesson should remind me daily of the problem with wishing time to pass and consider the future better...if we ever move again, I will not settle. So for you, being in a time crunch and dealing with the patience of having to find your house, I hope that your next little dream comes up and becomes yours. Now you and your husband know what the market is like there, and you can act as necessary next time. The house sounded great. But there is always something else, better even, out there. The place in which you live sounds like heaven, really. here's wishing you a cherry red chair to sit in four months from now. Hugs to you - the parable is fantastic. Where do you learn these wise words? Ugh, I have so been there, in those house-hunting shoes. The dissapointment I felt over and over last fall resonates.

You'll be OK; I just don't yet know how. If faith were easy it wouldn't be called faith. I’m sorry for your disappointment. You’ll be OK; I just don’t yet know how.

And that's okay. I hope that an even more perfect house comes to you. Yes, everything happens for a reason, but it isn’t always easy to accept that with grace. And that’s okay.
