I want a bigger, newer house, and I'm pretty sure we could get one if we tried. But I'm not sure that's where God is leading us.
I also want to fix up the house we're in. I want to do the kitchen and finish up our other little projects. But also... not sure that what God wants for us.
Alright... if we bought a new house, here is what I want... nay... need. A 2-story house with 4 bedrooms on the second floor. A large kitchen with an island that has a bar stool area (whatever it's called) with seating for 3. A separate room on the main floor (they're calling it a flex room now) that is sort of closed off, for our school room. A good sized backyard where the kids can play.
I guess if we can't get this now, there's no point in "settling" with a new house that just doesn't quite make it. Our current house fits most of our needs... and really, it fits all our needs. Those things I listed above don't come anywhere close to being our needs, but thing that I would like that could make my life, and lives of those around me, a little easier.
Alright... I feel better now. I think the thing that is keeping me sane, is this time, I'm looking for God. I've been through this whole question before, and the difference is that I'm letting God lead me. I don't want a new house now if it isn't His will for us at this time. So... yeah. That's all for now.

I hear you. It's ok to want things, but it is difficult to put what God wants first sometimes. Way to go. I'm sure that desiring what God desires will bring you peace in every circumstance.
