Plans

This year I decided to start reading the Proverbs and to try to find something every day that the Lord specifically speaks to me. I am making a journal about my days in Proverbs and situations that stand out. So this is how I am doing it. Every day of the month is a chapter in Proverbs. For example yesterday was the 19th. So I spent time in the 19th chapter of Proverbs.

The verse that really spoke to me was
verse 21: Many are the plans in a man's heart but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.

This has really spoken to me because this week we found out that the house we wanted didn't appraise for what the guy wanted and he doesn't want to lower his asking price.
So...we are back to looking at houses.
I have been very sad.
I was planning, preparing and getting ready for the move.
Now we are back to square one.
We have been here for 2 months and were really hoping to be in a house by now but God had other plans.
Part of me is angry, part of me is sad but overall I am starting to accept that My Plans may not be His plans. He has a better plan and I need to accept it.

I am still dreaming , still planning and getting ready to move.
I know that we are going to find a house.
I know that His Plans are not mine.
He has a better plan!

Dreaming....

I'm dreaming about curtains and window treatments.
(This is not our house , this is from Pottery Barn. )
We have started the process to buy a house and will move on the 25th of February.
The house that we are buying needs window coverings. They took everything when they left, even the blinds.
We are excited and ready to get settled.
I can't wait to show you when we get moved in.
I have also found a job and will start on the 15th of February.
I can hardly believe that our life will completely change in 2 months.
