Better Days..

After the house dramas this week, things are calming down! Everything is fixed.
We moved house in October for the fourth time in three years due to various issues. A bit stressful!
Now I am on school break, its been good to get back to blogging and reflecting.
We are so thankful for where we are now living. Despite all the issues of the week, this house has quickly become home. It is an answer to our prayers.
The house is in a great location. We have plenty of space, especially outside, for social activities. There are even some fruit trees built into the concrete yard!

When we saw the house we knew immediately it was a great house but beyond our budget. We took a quick tour and told the real estate agent it was way above our budget. He asked what we would offer and we stated our budget. I was embarrassed knowing it was WAY below what houses in the neighborhood are rented for.
Immediately the realtor said it was too low an offer! 
Feeling sad, but not surprised, we went to leave when the realtor out of the blue said he would call the landlord! They spoke for a few minutes in Arabic and got off the phone told us our offer was accepted!
My Sweet and I hadn't even decided for sure to rent the house but we knew it had great potential.
The blessings just overwhelm us at times. After many years of ill health and other struggles it finally feels like we have turned a corner. It's nice to feel we are home and settling.

This week, the Kiddos and I are taking a break. It's been a busy month or so with schooling and serving here. It's nice to just relax and have some down time together as a family. Home Sweet Home.
