The Plan...for now anyway!

Well, it's been quite a week around here! Last Thursday, Chris and I both "hit a wall" and basically came to the end our our own strength. We were so confused and broken over what should be the joyful sale of our home being completely overshadowed by having no where to move our family. This wouldn't be such a huge issue if baby Gwyn wasn't due to enter our family in 11 weeks, but thankfully she is, so it definitely adds pressure to the already stressful situation! That same day, I got an email from a friend about a furnished rental cottage on Isle of Hope that the owners rent weekly/monthly. I immediately followed up on the lead because every rental property we had found was a 6 month-1 year lease with either no early out or severe penalties for breaking the lease. This to us seemed like it didn't make any sense because then we are locked in and can't move on a house if one should come on the market that suits our family. Our plan is to move our entire house into pods and then take clothes and the bare minimum to the cottage, which we've never seen by the way, on May 30th.  :) There are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with a tiny kitchen and no dishwasher but hey at least there is a washer and dryer! It will be such an adventure and we are up for it! I truly feel like God provided just when He knew we couldn't take it anymore. I can't wait to see when and where this home search ends, but God is using it to draw our family closer to Him and for that I am forever grateful!!
