5 years ago, I stepped out in faith and sold my home and moved with my hubby from Houston, Texas to Washington State. I trusted God that one day we would have another house of our own. After all this time, we realized that we could never have a house here in Washington where the average house is over 500 thousand. God begin to work and through several things that happened, hubby and son both decided our best bet was to go back to Houston. Today we signed on the dotted line. I praise God that we are getting our own place and I am praying that He will bless us so that we can pay for the house.
Before we ever looked, I prayed God 's will. The house we are buying the owner and 3 of her neighbor friends prayed that a Christian would buy the house. I praise God that He answered our prayers as well as theirs. We began the drive back to Texas May first.
I hope this helps those who are praying for something that seems to be taking along time for an answer. Just over a year ago, my husband thought God would never give us a house. But God does indeed hear our prayers.

I am praying that God will allow us to live there until Jesus comes back. I would be pleased as punch if Jesus comes back before we even move in.

:yeah I'm praising God with you, Betty!! :yeah I am also so very happy for
you and I hope you enjoy your new home for many years to come. :hug
God is so good, He answers our prayers and blesses us in so many ways. He
gives us our hearts desire.

I prayed for a new home for many years. We didn't buy a new one, but last
year we remodeled our old one and now it's better than new and we did it for
a lot less money than the cost of a new one. :yeah I love my house but am
looking forward to seeing that home He is preparing for us in heaven!! :thumb

We had our last service with our Church yesterday. I am looking forward to moving to our new home, but it was sad saying goodbye. It is easier going back though then moving here, because we already have a Church home waiting for us in Texas. It took 6 months, when we moved to Washington to find a home.
I am glad Nonna, that you are able to make your home more comfortable for you and your family. I am like you I am looking forward to our new hone in Heaven.
