Team Merkel has a win!
We finally have a win for Team Merkel! WE BOUGHT A HOUSE. We are gonna be moving into our home in just a few weeks & we cannot wait. We thought we were buying a different house & it didn’t work out. We were both super discouraged in the moment. However that moment didn’t last long! The same day that house fell through, our house went up on the market!! Some call that coincidence, I call that Jesus! He knew what home we would end up in long before we even knew. We are beyond thankful for how God has provided for us. It is a reminder to me that He is going to provide in other ways too. He will provide for us in our infertility, he will provide for us in our careers & our friendships... He knows what is ahead & no matter what happens, one day we will understand why we waited. One day it will all be clear to us.
I love this quote by Morgan Harper Nichols...
“ One day you will wake up and all of the waiting will have made sense. You will realize that all of the prayers, that seemed to be tangled in worries were actually wrapped tightly in God’s grace. You will realize that even though before, you were certain it was over you were actually... okay, and everything that was supposed to happen happened, and you are right where you need to be.”
Thankful for this particular season of waiting to be over with. We are thankful to have a home. This will be the place we bring our babies home. One prayer request I do have is that you continue to pray for our fertility journey. I know that whether it’s through adoption or IUI, that we will bring a baby home to our house one day... but that waiting process is so incredibly hard.
It is also hard not to doubt. It is hard to not fear empty, silent rooms... It is hard not to be anxious about that. I long for the days where tiny feet are heard running through our halls, the days where giggles fill my kitchen, the days where muddy kiddos come running in from the backyard. The waiting will all make sense. One day our rooms will be filled. One day we will have more than two stockings up for Christmas. One day we will sit on our porch swing with a tiny baby in our arms. That day...that day will be worth all of the waiting. But for now, I am thankful for this win! I am thankful that we have this home to make our own & to love. I am beyond thankful for God’s provision for us. I am thankful that He has my prayers wrapped tightly in His grace.
So... Here’s to home ownership & becoming a little more like Joanna Gaines!
