We put our house on Craigs List this week. We thought since we're looking at homes we may as well get the ball rolling and explore the do-it-yourself option first. As it saves you thousands of dollars. The craigslist option made this much more appealing. We had our first showing today so we'll see what becomes of that. These people have till the end of may to be out of their apartment. As for us, there is one house we are interested in but the basement is horrible. A bowed wall that has been anchored at least. And water seeps through the floor so we are going to have someone look at it and give us an estimate to see what it would cost to drain tile it and put a sump in. This home has been on the market since August and has had to offers. I think it's and we love the location but the basement is an issue and we'd make an offer in light of that and the fact they've had no offers. It's so hard not to try to MAKE this all work out. But life is way easier for me if I rely on the Lord to work out the details and trust Him to work out whatever His will is. I'm trying to remain open to His leading. I told Mom the other day as she said I need to quit obsessing, because go through all the scenarios and details over and over and back and through. I told her, I'm giving to the Lord!! She said, but you keep taking it back!! You need to keep giving back to Him. So a lot of grabbing it back and giving it back. So you all feel free to pray for God's will in this housing situation.!! That's all from me today, I need to go eat lunch.... late... again.
