"Home Is Where Your Heart Is"

I have to say that I truly enjoy all this rain we are getting. I hear people complain all the time about the rain but no one complain about the sun. Think about it this way, without the sun, air, AND rain we would not have the beautiful green trees, the breath taking flower or soft green grass. It takes all elements to create this beautiful world that God gave us as a gift and we need to rejoice in all that he gives. You need to have a positive out look on the rain just as we do the sunshine. The rain to me represents washing away my sins and God always give me rain when I need it. It is God's way of washing away all the sins on the earth. We are more thankful for the sunshine after a day of rain just as we are more thankful for a blessing the day after we feel we are not getting the blessings we are looking for.

God only gives us what we need and lately I have had to relearn this. I have been struggling with not being able to buy a house. Jealous of those who can, jealous of those who have houses and treat it with little respect. It frustrates me because I have been saving since before Aaron and I got married and took on a second 20 hour a week job to put more money into the "House Fund" and I feel we are getting nowhere.

Before we got married we were looking at houses to buy and were not finding anything I liked, later to find out that it was not our timing. Two months after Aaron and I got married I lost my job and was on a one income budget for 3-4 months until I found something else. Buy renting we were still able to follow our budget, pay for Aaron's classes and books, and still allowed us to save just a little bit.

God only gives us what we need..a roof over our head with the ones we love, the food on our table to survive and the rain to help wash away our sins and make us pure again. I am trying to remind myself that God has a house for me out there when the time is right and " Your Home Is Where Your Heart Is"
