Tonight was our first night staying the night in our house again after the break in. We stayed the evenings at our friends, Ian and Jo, for 6 nights until I felt ready to stay at our place once again. Neither of us slept that well. Mostly because so many thoughts were going through my head.
Mat and I both feel like we want to move houses and today went to visit a lovely house with better security and more room. Talk about God's provision--we had somewhat house hunted earlier in the year when we heard our landlord wanted to sell our house, but we found nothing suitable. Then over the weekend, Jo heard of a house becoming available that is 2 blocks away from her. It was the first house we visited and knew it was the one! As we drove up, I told Mat that the most we could pay for rent was $200. After seeing the house and asking the rent price, the woman told us it would be $200! Also, Mat and I are really good caretakers and that is exactly what they are looking for. We love to paint places we stay in and make them look nice and homey. That is exactly what she is looking for! So we really feel like it is a great match. However, we can't move in until January.
Throughout the night so many thoughts were going through my head: thoughts of the new house, thoughts of "what ifs" during the robbery, thoughts of our future, thoughts of Calvin, etc. I finally got up at 4:30am and worked on the computer as I couldn't sleep. Our first night back...
