I am not happy with the house in which we are living. I could regale the many problems but I think it is sufficient to state my feelings simply and concisely. I have not expressed it openly and honestly though I am sure my husband and son are aware. Keeping this in for the past few months has left me feeling not completely myself. I have been house hunting on the internet and on Sunday, I identified a home we had looked at two years ago. I was excited that it was available and shared it with the family. The naysayers were in full force not because of the house itself but because we had just moved and we like this town and our community. I did first look for homes available here in our town but no such luck! I had nixed the idea of this house after hearing the family's views but the idea of living there kept coming up in my head and appearing in my dreams. When thoughts came up during my prayers, I wanted to put my mind at ease. I contented myself with the thought that if it was still listed it would be a sign to inquire. You see, homes for rent in the previous city where we lived, were snatched up faster than one could even blink. This was our experience in April when we were house hunting. If it was taken I would just suck it up and stay put. But lo and behold it was still available and the landlord was willing to arrange a viewing for this afternoon. Another sign! My family knows that I am a force to be reckoned with when I am house hunting and put the power of prayer behind it! I cannot describe adequately the relief I feel in being able to get my feelings out in a sincere and open manner. I am cognizant that this place may also not be the place for us, chief among these reasons is that the price is outside of our budget. These are barriers to our moving but for me, I can truthfully say that nothing compares to being able to acknowledge how I feel. We may have to stay where we are but I am owning the humility to state that this house was a mistake.
