Losing what we never had

We put an offer on a house and didn't get it. How can I be sad over something that was never mine? I suppose that nothing is mine anyways. It all belongs to Him. But I was already beginning to picture the boys as teens running down the stairs to grab a quick bite before they left for baseball or something. I could really see where everything was going to go. A nice 'Texan' entryway, and a perfect room upstairs for homeschooling. I mean PERFECT!!!

The sad part was the reason we were told that our offer wasn't accepted was because the guy decided to go bankrupt instead. He wanted the government to help him keep his place. I really hope it works out how he wanted but I am sceptical these days with anything the government does to try to help the average person out.

I also suppose that it is better to have lost it now rather than have the offer accepted and then find out in an inspection that something terrible is wrong that we didn't know about. My hubby was very worried about it being a 'meth' house. Maybe his intuition was right and our lives are that much safer because of it!

I know that God's plan is for us to be somewhere else. Now we wait. Wait for that right house to come along and pray our offer is accepted next time.
