"For every house is built by someone, but the
builder of all things is God"
Hebrews 3:4
Since the
beginning of August, Kenzie and I have been looking for a house to rent here in
Costa Rica. There were only a few things that we really wanted in a house. We
wanted a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom, a space for a car and it be located near the
office and friends. For some reason we thought it would be really easy to find
and we would be out of our host homes with the week or 2.
So we started
our search with some help from our friends. The first house we saw was an
amazing new modern place. The rent wasn't that bad, but as it is custom here,
it would go up 10% every year. Since we are on a fix salary, we decided to take
the day to figure out if we wanted it or not. So when we called the next day to
tell the owner we wanted it, it had already been rented out! Yup, less then 24
hrs the place was rented. So we continued on with the search.
After about
the 4th house, we were starting to feel discourage. We weren't sure if we were
going to find a house that we liked and as much as we love living with our host
families, we were ready to live on our own and have a house. We knew that God
had the perfect place for us but we just didn't know when He would reveal it to
us.
So last week,
we went to look at another house. We tried not to be too excited about seeing
it because we didn't want to be disappointed again. We walked to this cute
little light maroon house and as we walked in, we fell in love with it! It is
more then what we could ever ask for! It met all wants and needs and then some!
We move in on
Sept 1 :)
I feel so
blessed to be able to have this house. God has truly blessed us with it! I am
so excited to be able to decorate it, start making it my HOME, investing in my
neighborhood and having people visit us!
Thank you for
your prayers! God answered it in a BIG way and in HIS timing!
