May have found housing!

Last night I was looking online (mainly craigslist) for housing.  I was really discouraged and felt doubt creeping in that God wasn't going to provide.  I turned off the laptop and prayed; just a simple prayer- "Lord I'm doubting.  Grant me repentance.  I don't think I'm testing you by asking that you show me that you will provide, so please help my unbelief."

Now up until now, I've had a few certain things in mind when it comes to housing (up to this point I hadn't seen anything that fit the bill):
1.) That it would be a 2 bedroom mobile home;
2.) That it would be in Lenoir, NC;
3.) That it would be in the northern part of the city;
4.) That it would be a six month lease;
5.) That it wouldn't be a lot of money (had in mind $400-$500 a month);
5 1/2.) As a little side, I've always wanted to live up on a mountain with a driveway that went up to the house

So after praying, Megan came into the room and I told her that I had been doubting and she prayed with me.  A few minutes later I went back online and onto Craigslist, forgetting about my doubting.  Here is how he answered the prayers:

-At the exact time I had asked him to show me that he would provide, a new listing was put on Craigslist
-It is a 2 bedroom mobile home
-It is in the norther part of Lenoir, NC
-The landlord is asking specifically for a 6-month lease
-It's $425 a month!
-And to top it all off, it is on top of a little hill with a driveway leading up to it.

So I contacted the landlord immediately (after praising God) and he responded immediately and sent me an application.  We are going to send the application to him today.

Please pray that God's will will be done.  We will be fine either way, knowing that God will provide for us.  This was a sweet reminder that he hears our prayers, that he will provide, and yes, he may even give us exactly what we had in mind.

Love you guys!
