I loved and Lost...a House
May 18th, 2010
Okay so maybe this post doesn't really belong in the romance blog, but honestly, I feel like I did when I was dumped at 14 years old by a guy with the best hair ever. Our church has been trying to organise us a new house to live in, with a garden, for a couple of years now. FINALLY, there was an offer on this house, and they had an offer accepted on a house for us that was beyond our wildest dreams.
Some of its particularly appealing features: a master bedroom with an en-suite, a kitchen with granite counters and an American-style fridge/freezer, a blue front door that matches our car, a garden with a shed and a patio, lovely curtains all of which were staying.... I am holding back tears just thinking about the quality wood flooring (just kidding. Or am I??). I pictured our future together. I went to sleep at night thinking about it. I made excuses to walk past it. I felt we were destined to be together.
And then, the call came. Our buyer fell through, and now both houses are back on the market. Will I ever love again? Will we, against the odds, still be together? It is out of my hands, and I feel crushed and powerless. Oh house, come back to me!

Nothing is impossible with God, but whatever he has for you will be for your best. Honest :-) Praying for you xxx
