DENIED!

soooooo, I got some letters back from the banks in town regarding the housing loans I applied for…it would take a genius at this point to figure out the response I got from them.  heh.  It would seem that God’s got another plan up his sleeve for this little endeavor called Hashem House.  So now I continue to trust and go where he leads. 

As of late, I’ve been following the ‘push on all doors to see if they open’ method of discerning God’s plans for things and the traditional loan door has closed–no, slammed in my face.  Who knew having a credit report would be such a viable resource for one buying a home?  (sigh.)  This leaves me a few more doors to press my hands up against…and I’m left to ponder which it may be that God swings open to release this house. 

…or could it be I haven’t even glimpsed this door yet?  Is it possible that God has hidden a door somewhere that I’ve yet to discover?  That I can’t even figure out logically how I can obtain this house and that’s exactly how he wants it?  I know that it will be supernatural.  I mean, it would have been an act of God for that loan to go through since I have no credit, but I believe that God’s got a bit more pizazz lined up for this place. 

I’ve been so encouraged recently by the extravagance of God.  I’ve seen one of my teammates receive her full support for a year in under two weeks…tell me that isn’t supernatural.  ha!  I’ve seen our little company being supported by over $50,000 in a matter of months and our refrigerator stocked with meat (seriously, someone donated a 650 lb. cow to us).  Incredible.  How is all this even possible?  Was this in their minds as they began raising support?  I mean, a cow?!  no.  I’m sure no one asked for a cow in a support letter.  God’s just funny like that.  He literally brings the cows home when the resources need to come in.

And so my mind is at rest and my heart is at peace.  I can’t figure it out and frankly I don’t want to.  I’m waiting for my own ‘cow’ story and I can’t wait to brag on God when he does his thing and calls the cows home for Hashem House. 

oh, just a little praise report that I almost forgot about:  I did receive my first donation of $100 towards Hashem House from my fam at Two Rivers.  (thanks guys!)  They called it my seed money…how fitting for my next post…
