exactly where I am supposed to be
- Morgan Harper Nichols
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!
