"Our house is a very,very,very fine house"

I was listening to Crosby's, Stills and Nash "Our House" several days ago and I told Nathaniel how much I will be missing our house, (with two dogs in the yard instead of cats).  I love this house, my haven, the castle that God had given us. It was a fortress for me.  I felt safe in my house. Unfortunately, with me being out of work for almost six months, it took its toll.  I had to short sale or foreclose, and I was not wanting to foreclose.  Our house was put up for sale on December 29, 2013 and I had an offer on January 4, 2014.  I have a contract and it is breaking my heart.  Yes, "my house is a very, very, very fine house . . . "
It may be a couple of months before we close completely, but I believe I am ready to move on.  Please keep my son and I in prayer to find something to rent.  I would prefer a small house, with at least two bedrooms, one in a half bathrooms or two bathrooms, and a fenced in yard (Also, maybe a fireplace) I can dream you know.  I know the Lord already has the place for us, but I just need to listen to His gentle direction.  So much has happened in the last eight months, sometimes I just want to sleep for days and not wake up until I am completely rested.  But I will continue to walk that narrow path (which unfortunately I tend to tip over from time to time), though I will enjoy the adventures along the way.  I am thankful to the Lord for allowing me to stay in my home while I was still healing; that was definitely a GOD thing!!! A wonderful GOD thing!!!

Thank you, Father.  Thank you, for allowing me to enjoy this house and welcome those who have passed through these doors no matter what their burden.  This house was not for my personal use only, but for those who were in need of you.  Lord, your presence was always felt here.  Father, you are invited to come and stay in my next home, and may your presence be felt by those who will come to know you.
