Waiting on a Living Situation

I got this in my facebook inbox from the daily verse:
He said to them, 'Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.'"Matthew 17:20
Picture a mountain. Any mountain. If you having faith in God is enough to move that mountain, don't you think that the same God will also move in your life in the areas that seem impossible? Look at those things like you look at the mountain. Have faith that He will do what only He can do and ask and trust Him to do it!

What's my mountain? Where am I going to live?!?!?! It's funny, there's another verse in Matthew that talks about how the birds don't reap or harvest; they trust God for food-and the flowers don't make clothes; they trust God to give them petals so why worry? It's also in Phillipians...don't worry about anything instead pray about EVERYTHING.

So why am I so concerned about not knowing my future living situation when I know #1 GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!! and #2 I have somewhere to live for the next 24 days. I have put an un-official offer on a house-it will be official Monday when I sign the actual offer. And then the waiting game comes. Yet, I know there is nothing that is going to change today or tomorrow for that matter whether I get the house or not. My mind likes to wander (dumb mind) and what if it doesn't happen? God has blessed me with an amazing friend that has offered a spare room month to month til I either close on the house or my offer gets rejected and have to figure out where to go. And do I really want to push for something to happen and then not be living where God wants me? There is a lesson here. I just need to stay steadfast to my God and let him take this. He made the world-finding me a place isn't too hard for him; at least he knows the area!

Lord, I am praying for you to give me comfort and to take this burden away from me. I know you already have it planned out and though I like to know what's going to happen when , that your way is always better and I'll want to wait and let you work it all out. I love you for loving me, dealing with my crazy, and taking care of me.

I can buy a house?!?!?

I'm dealing with adult-hood. Funny, since when I was little all I wanted was to grow up, drive, date, go to college. My driving had me in defensive driving this morning. I'll not even start on the roller coaster that's my dating life (or the lack there of), but I am ridiculously blessed and am getting ready to start an amazing job using the entirety of my college degree. So now what's left? Housing. Need to move closer to my job. Found a wonderful starter home to buy and went to the bank to see what I could be pre-approved for. I am pre-approved for the house. Of course the monthly payment at the price is 50% of my monthly net income, but apparently I am adult enough to be able to afford the mortgage. Growing up is scary. Luckily God is always good and if it's His will He'll give me the money to afford their bill.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
