exactly where I am supposed to be

"One day you will wake up and all of the waiting will have made sense. You will realize that all of the prayers that seemed to be tangled in worries were actually wrapped tightly in God’s grace. You will realize that even though before, you were certain it was over, you were actually…okay, and everything that was supposed to happen happened and you are right where you need to be."

It is funny how God works. On January 26th, I walked away from what I had thought would be my first home. I was devastated. I was upset. I was emotional. I had believed that all of the signs were pointing to that open door; and I was defeated to admit that perhaps (after all) that door was not the one I was supposed to enter.

In the following weeks, I searched redfin for more homes. I stalked the MLS listings. I checked out the ONE. A condo on the lake. It was in my hometown. It was a great price. I wrote a letter telling the sellers about why I would be a great fit for their home. And my offer was beat by cash. Some one's cash offer beat my letter and picture perfect dream. I felt humiliated, crushed, defeated.

Then out of the blue, my mom stumbled upon another condo in Germantown. It was near the lake I had fallen in love with. I made an appointment to check it out with my Dad. I made an offer. Several other offers came pouring in. Each offer was almost the same and two were cash. No doubt I would be beat again, only to be left brokenhearted. 

But God works in mysterious ways. My offer was accepted, and I settle on March 26th. Two months after my heart was broken and I thought I would never find a home again. Things have fallen into place in unbelievable ways. This time it feels right. The timing of everything has been humbling. I am so incredibly humbled. God willing ... 19 days from today, I will be a home owner.

If you had talked to me two months ago, I would have begged to differ. But the waiting is beginning to make sense. God's grace is inexplicable. Everything that needed to happen, has happened or is happening. 

I feel 100% certain that I am exactly where I am supposed to be.

This song has been ministering to my heart the past 24 hours ... and I hope it can minister to yours too! Be blessed today folks!
