God's Timing and Sense of Humor

I really wonder what God is thinking sometime.  I'm sure this was all a lesson in faith and trusting God and I'm also sure I failed the lesson.  I get a big fat F, but thankfully, God gets an A.

Yesterday, when Dan checked into the housing office, the woman there, C., offered him a three bedroom renovated house.  There's no one on the Captain's 3 bedroom list.  Dan made an appointment to see it today even though he told her I wouldn't want it. I found the floor plans online last night (my mom has advice about google and the Internet - I don't like it, but she's probably correct).  Anyway, I agonized about it all night long.  I couldn't figure out how we'd fit all of our stuff in it.  We really want a four bedroom house.  We want space. The girls want their own rooms.  I hunted for rentals.  This morning, I called several looking for something that would rent monthly until the big 4 bedroom house opened up.  No luck.   Well, C took us to the house this morning.  It is nice and clean and recently renovated.  We went through one bedroom and then two and then three and then there was another bedroom at the end of the hall.  Huh...I actually retraced my steps to make sure I'd counted correctly.  Sure enough, when they turned the house over to her, they gave her the wrong information.  Since we were there, she said we could have the FOUR BEDROOM HOUSE.  Yes I'm yelling.  There are eight people on the captain's four bedroom list, btw.  All eight should have had first dibs over us.  C got a big ole hug from me.  I don't think she minded because people in Missouri are down home and pretty friendly.

Dan's signing for the house this afternoon so we can empty our trailer into it, saving the cost and my shoulders from moving our stuff into and out of a storage unit.  Our household goods won't be delivered until Monday and Tuesday.  They said we have too much stuff to bring it all in one day...seriously.  We have a normal household of stuff.  I think we'll stick with our hotel until we have the beds set up.  And after all of that, the girls have decided to share a humongous room (it's a long rectangle) so that the fourth bedroom can be a playroom.  I'm still not sure about our furniture, but we'll make it work or sell and buy new if we have to.
