~Motel Living-Not A Dream Come True~

Yes I am getting a little ahead of myself here but I have to think about everything that "could" happen. Someone asked me what's going to happen if you don't find a place? Well, the truth is we will probably end up in a motel again. Not something any of us want, it's going to be horrible but that is life sometimes. I'm not saying that's what will happen, I am saying it could happen. It has happened to us before. It's very hard to get out of a motel once your in it so we really do not want that to be how things go...but you just never know. God has this so prayerfully the home for us is right around the corner. We will see what happens...

My cousin, his gf and their two kids have lived in one for months now. Sad but it's a roof over their head.

Well, perhaps if you have to get a motel room for a while the house you finally find will be well worth it. I certainly hope so.

I also hope you don't wind up there. Been there so know what it is. Luckily tho, I had no small children. Best of luck and blessings for a house right quick.

Having young children would make it really difficult. Hope you won't wind up there.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. But even if it does it has to be better that being on the street. Something will come along.

@prashu228 Nope, we thought so too but the owner is talking about selling instead and he has been putting us off for some reason.

There have been quite a few years of my life when I have lived in small hotels. It never feels secure. I hope you find somewhere.

Jennifer, I know it can be hard on you living in a motel. I went through the same thing and it gets very tedious. First off I am not trying to go all religious on you or anything but look at it this way. 1) You have a roof over your head to shelter you from the elements 2) A clean bed to sleep in 3) Food 4) Hygeine Facilities and you can add or subtract anything you would like. When life gives you lemons make some yummy lemonade!

@MelA38 I know all about it. We have lived in a motel before, we have lived in our vehicle before and we have lived in a tent before. I have faith in the Lord so that's not a problem-I love the Lord and I am very grateful for what He does for us! =) We won't have to worry about it now since we did find a temporary home for our family.
