I am too far behind…I’m not even going to try to “catch up” so…
We are now officially looking for a house…
I called the realtor who helped us back in September of 2008. I did so a little reluctantly…
Why reluctantly?
I am a hopeful sort of fellow. I continue to naively believe that I will stumble upon some great deal or just happen to meet someone who introduces me to someone who…I think you get the picture.
I AM NOT going to go deeply in debt to buy a house! I am believing for a GREAT deal!
Our realtor went out of her way to inform me that “everyone is looking for a great deal”, “I have an investor that is buying 10 houses in the area” so “the market is very competitive”, don’t get your hopes up, it could possibly happen but let’s be realistic…in our very first conversation!
I was not a happy camper. I think she perceived that when my last five responses consisted of one or two tersely spoken words.
I wasn’t born yesterday! I know all of that!
But, I believe that God has brought me to this city, that He (notice the capitalized MASCULINE pronoun) is putting it into my heart to buy a house, that He has a house prepared for us and that He wants to bless me! So, I am going to look for THAT house with THAT perspective in mind! If I have to settle in the end, I have to settle. But it will be at the end, not at the beginning. If that is the case, why do I need her?
I think you can tell that I am still fired up. In fact, I am going to continue looking on my own independent of her. Well see what happens?
