My husband has been busy looking for an apartment for us in Colorado. I had my heart set on one that had everything I wanted and was below budget. To my great sorrow it wasn’t the right place for us. It didn’t work with my husbands job. My husband went back to searching and I was just trying to stop crying about not getting the place I wanted. I moaned and groaned about all I’m giving up and that I don’t even get to live where I want. I’m not very grateful at times and find that I can throw a tantrum just as well as my two year old daughter.

Anyway, as my husband was searching one day I suddenly felt the need to pray that my husband would find an apartment for us and that the Lord would help me accept wherever it was and that I could just accept the Lord’s will. Almost immediately after ending my prayer my cell phone rang and I knew my husband had found our new home. He started out by asking if I had ever heard of a certain school district and mentioned an elementary school. I think he was having a hard time getting to the point that he had found the apartment for us because of the attitude I had lately. I finally asked him about the apartment and he mentioned one he had looked at before. He has been very drawn to this one and I was okay with it, but had liked the other one so much more, it was cheaper, had a fitness center, and was in the school district I wanted to live in.

Kevin said we could pray about it some more, but even though I didn’t want to, I told him we both knew it was the right place and he had better act on it so we wouldn’t lose it. He went back and gave them a deposit immediately. Which was a good thing, because someone else was interested as well. If I hadn’t been told so clearly it was the one or if Kevin would of waited for me to come around someone else would of gotten the apartment. The Lord knows what he is doing.

It is amazing how hard it is at times to give your will over to the Lord. Even though it was clear this was the right place (my husband and I had both felt that way). It just wasn’t what I wanted. Seems silly. I know that the Lord wants what is best for me and my family and for some reason this is where we are to live. This place really is nice. I’m so very grateful that the Lord cares enough about me and my family to have a plan for us, to have an exact location he wants us to live. I’ve adjusted to the idea of this place and am now finding that I’m excited to see what awaits us at our new home.
