In this quest for what is the best housing arrangement for our family, a few things have already been happening. We are very firm in our belief that we will let God direct us. If there are open doors, we'll go through them, even if it's scary (mostly me) and if there are firmly shut doors, we'll stop and head in another direction (mostly Steve). We balance each other well.

I was concerned because we are always on a fairly tight budget and I know that with any move comes expenses. I was especially worried about all the little things that we'd need to do to our current house before putting it on the market. There really aren't any 'big ticket' items and we've already remodeled both bathrooms but there are lots of little things that come with having lots of challenging kids in our house over the years. We have at least three holes in various walls that have been bugging me for a long time, some flooring that needs to be replaced, etc.
So as I was worrying about the cost of fixing things like that, especially right after Christmas when money is the most scarce, God again reassured me that He's got it under control. Later that morning, I got an email from Steve letting me know that because of a referral he made at work, he would be receiving an extra $250 on his Friday paycheck. That night, we discussed the money and we both agreed that it would be well spent on fixing things in our current house. Even if we don't move, there are things that need to be done. We can do all the work ourselves and just needed to purchase materials. We've already patched the walls and have the paint to finish those projects.

PS. Special thanks to Doug B for fixing our back door on our garage yesterday!!! :)
