Good morning everyone. I hope you slept well and your having a good morning so far. =)
So, I know things have been confusing with our life so I thought I would clarify what's happening at the moment.
We are in an apartment-which is temporary. We are saving and hoping to get into a home within a month. My husband is working on the apartments. We were going to rent the house after it was fixed up, however my husband has to get done with these apartments first.
Depending on how long these take...we might just find a different house-if we find something before he can get to that house. The house itself would take about a month before we could move into it-which would mean 2 months here minimum which is NOT what we want...
So, for now we are looking at houses we hear about and saving our money for whichever route God wants to take us. My husband should be done with one apartment by Monday so we will be saving what he makes. He has a lot more apartments to work on after that one is finished.
Right now our life is a wait and see kind of thing... I am working on my patience. =)

If you do decide or are led to take another house, will the guy who your husband is working for let him continue to work on the apartments though, just curious?

@TiarasOceanView You know, I don't think we have come to that question yet. The guy does have other houses though so maybe we can find a different one through him.

@LovingMyBabies Yes I would just be concerned that if he felt he was not ´getting his moneys worth´ out of your husband (sort of indentured to this guy for work) that he would turn the tables on you guys and cut the work off if you decided to rent somewhere else other than his properties. Not trying to be negative, I am just always analytical.

And you are doing an excellent job on your patience. I cannot imagine that this is an easy route, but like you mentioned, you are taking it as a family with God, and that cannot be all bad.
I was always taught that home is where the heart is........
so, if you love your family, which I know that you do.......
and you love your husband, which I know that you do......
then you ARE home, temporarily in an apartment or forever in a home.
Don't wish your life away, I know that you are doing your best to enjoy each and every minute of your life, and you should be!

Sounds like God is testing your patience and it sounds like you are doing quite well! Hang in there young lady you will all be settled where ever God has for you soon and this will all be behind you. Still my heart goes out to you as I know what its like to move a lot. My ex husband and I were together 11 and a half years and moved 17 times and that is no exaggeration I sat down and figured it out. Guess who did the packing and unpacking and took care of three little ones in the mean time, you got it, me! Wow am I glad those days are over for me. I am with a man now we've been together 23 years and lived in one home for 13 years and in our present home for nearly 9 years. My life changed drastically since I met my current husband. He treats me wonderfully and I praise God for him.

@Butchcass4 Yeah, my husband and I with children have moved 40 times in 13 years. And yes I have done most of the work and lost the most through it.
But my husband and I love each other and will get through as we have done before.
I'm glad your settled now and I pray we will be too soon. I'm tired of moving, we all are.

@DianneN They are handling it well like most kids. They have much more faith than adults do.

I'm happy to hear that you are out of the motel and have a roof over your head. I'm continuing praying that it all works out for you and your family and that you can have the patience for everything to work out
