hello there, friend,
we've rented a few times and have owned two houses. each time the process of finding just the right thing was full of anticipation, confusion, and wonderment. i love the part of the process where i can see possibility. i love imagining what a house would look like with our furniture in it, how we might refinish the floors or repaint the rooms, how our kids will play in the yard (or acres of woods). a new house feels like a fresh start.
of course, there are parts of the process, like the actual decision making and waiting that i don't like at all. but i know that with each experience i learn something... about the process or about myself or my faith. knowing in your head it will all be all right and actually believing that and putting your faith and trust in something higher is much harder, but with it comes a peace and calm that can carry you through the turbulence.
xo,
b
