It's the weirdest thing. I really was excited about the house in Masku and then, today we went to see if for the second time and all my feelings for it just dwindled. Things just weren't the same anymore. I'd finally red the report on the condition of it yesterday and that had already gotten me less enthusiastic as had taking a closer look at the map. Just behind the house there is a road with heavy traffic and the same applies to the left side of the lot. In real life it just didn't feel safe.
I'm sad and to be honest also relieved because I was thinking that if the house were as nice as I remembered then I'd learn to live with the cars soaring by. Now I don't have to. On the other hand, things just got a whole lot more complicated.
Husband spent the better part of this afternoon searching for a three room appartment for us to rent in antcipation of us not finding what we want before we have to move. The idea of having to rent frustrates me but we are about to make the most expesive investment of our lives when we buy a house so now is not the time to rush things. But you know me, not rushing things is not quite what I'm known for.
It's been our wish to find an old house but now that we've seen quite a few and gotten acquainted with the issues and problems involved we're starting to think that it might not be a bad idea to either try to find a much newer house (i.e. built during this millennium) or even buying a ready made house which then would require finding a lot and quite a bit of other things such sorting our drainage etc.
For now I'm just tired. I know we made the right decision but it's been by now 7 months of looking for a house and it seems that we keep getting back to square one. To this my wise Husband replied that we are much wiser today than we were yesterday and he is of course right. In the immortal words of Scarlet O'Hara: "Tomorrow is another day" :).

I, too, find it hard to wait. But I have truly seen so many times how things work out better when I truly pray about the outcome and then let things just "work out." Like you said, this time it just didn't "feel" right. But you learned something through the process that will help you find the absolute right one. Did I make any sense at all? Hmmmm...
You did, thank you and I agree. The more I meddle with things the slower it gets for God to finally get me to see the light. But it has to be admitted that waiting and trusting is really really hard this time around since yesterday we signed the papers and our appartment is now sold. Come May 25th we have to move somewhere.Yikes.
