House and trust

The house stuff is wrapping up fairly well. It's all really much more work than I thought it would be. Everything has worked out though. I noticed today how when I give things to God that I thought I really needed, God usually shows me that I didn't even need them anyway. I know that's a little obscure. But I guess I'm thinking of two specific occurrences, where I was saving up for something or had something in mind that I needed money for, and was tempted to hold off my tithe until I was more financially sound. The first time I was trying to save up 20% to put down on a house, and after I wrote the check, I talked to a loan guy and he told me that was rediculous and if I got an FHA loan I would only need to put 3% down. The 2nd time was today, and I was really worried about closing costs, and managing my budget with a huge mortgage in it... and after I wrote the check 2 friends that I previously thought wouldn't want to live in the house told me that the guy that owns their house is getting engaged so they were definitely going to move in for awhile. Of course I'm totally glad they're coming since they're really tight friends and I think the house will be super fun with them, it's also a huge help to have some extra money to deal with all the expenses and everything I need to buy for the house. God really does seem to bless so often after we give something up, almost just like job. When he took everything from job, he replaced it with things that were much better. When we give up things that we love, he blesses us with things we hadn't even conceived of in our heads, that are such better things for us. I've noticed this in my love life as well. I've gone from girl to girl to girl in my crushes... relationships and whatnot. Every girl I feel is the right one, until God brings me past that and shows me someone that seems to fit me better in some manner. In ways I couldn't have pointed out to the girl previous. I feel God just likes to remind us that he really knows what's best, and if we continually trust in him, he'll take care of everything. It's pretty sweet...
