On Owning a Home

It is incredible, incredible, incredible! I feel exhilarated every time I drive into the driveway and walk up my steps. It’s Mine! For many people who have owned a home, it’s no big deal. But for me, this is something I have wanted for years. It feels so good to be here!

The house is in really good condition. The former owners left me a folder of meticulously kept records that I mentioned before. More than $40,000 was put into the home in the last year. A new kitchen, central air conditioning, a jacuzzi bath tub, the bricks were pointed on the front and back of the building and the backyard was done (pavers & landscaping). I had fun playing with the automatic ice maker in the fridge and the car door opener.

This past weekend, I saw the talents of many of my friends grace my home. I have friends who are licensed electricians, plumbers and decorators come and help get us ready to move in. It was great to meet so many of my neighbors who came and welcomed us to the neighborhood. I may not have been given a family like everyone else’s, but having great friends who willingly help and just offer their time feels great.

My soul is completely filled with joy. I am grateful for God’s Grace. Each time I find something special about the house that I didn’t see during the walk throughs, I stop and smile because I realize how fortunate I am. (Note: If you are a new reader to my blog, I saw almost 70  houses and lost bids on many homes).  After seeing what shape the home was in, my friend smiled and said “what do you do to get a house like this?”  My answer, “I prayed.”

Hugs,
marlene
