God is awesome! He is completely faithful in every way even when you think you are going to plan things the way you want it to go, He always has His will. And His will is the best!!! Okay, so friday night Josh and I are laying in bed in Houston at his parents house. Caleb just fell asleep. Josh says to me "So, do you think I would be completely crazy if we looked around the church one more time to see if there was anything out there that we could afford?" And I just told him that nothing is crazy anymore to me. Ever since I married him my life has always had surprises. Anyways, we talked about it and then fell asleep. Sunday night we went to see Joel Olsteen preach in San Antonio ATT Center. He was saying that we may think we have the best and it might be something really awesome, but God has His plan for us and sometimes we just need to listen. We came home that night and Josh found on the internet a house that was for sale in a neighborhood 2 MINUTES from the church. The realtor advised us and said that we were sitting good and that he would let us know as soon as he hears from the bank. We were a little worried because the other bidder was a lawyer. Anyways, Josh got the answer back today and the realtor told us that we must have been praying really hard because we beat the lawyer! WE WON THE BID ON THE HOUSE!!! The house is 2300 square feet, 3 beds, 2 1/2 bath, dining room, family room, game room, lots of trees in the front and back yard, all brick sides, huge master 19 by 19, walk in closets in every room, and the laundry ROOM is upstairs next to all the bedrooms with lots of shelves. The floor plan is everything I had ever wanted. We are going to pull up the carpet and put new carpet and wood flooring in and also tile in the kitchen and baths. There is a little work to be done but God is so awesome. We only have to drive 2 minutes to get to the church! We will be saving so much money on gas. Oh and Caleb's elementary school is right in the neighborhood along with a pool and playground for the kids. It is just amazing how we think we may have everything planned out and then God steps in and works His will out for you. So we will close on August 5th and have plenty of time to get ready before the baby comes. Caleb has already claimed his room. So cute. Anyways, we are just too excited about it all. God is Good!
