Sitting in Uncertainty

If you haven't heard, Justin & I bought a house, yea! Unfortunately we have hit some pretty big bumps in the road with mortgage rules. Five days ago, in reaction to the market, the mortgage regulations changed and have now left us caught in the middle. We are supposed to have 6 months of reserve in our bank account to cover both our townhome and new home's payments. This has to be on account for at least two months and is in addition to the money we need to have in our bank account for the down payment. Needless to say, they expect us to have a HUGE amount of money in our account--which we don't have. We also looked into an FHA and at this point we are seeing our monthly payments would be higher than the conventional mortgage, making it almost impossible for us to do. So, we are stuck. We are sorting out our options and looking into alternatives for mortgages and seeing if there is anything that can be done. We know our God is bigger than this situation and He can work it out. He can also choose to let us loose this house and prepare us for something else. Either way, we will trust Him. It is hard, being uncertain of your future. We are sitting in a half packed up house not knowing which way to go...forward or backward. We are learning that we have to put our full trust in God and believe that His purpose is for our good. Who knows what lies ahead...we may end up living with my parents, living in our new house or living in our townhome awhile longer. Yes, we are exhausted and confused, but we are holding fast to the scripture that says when I am weak, then He is strong!Proverbs 31:17 ~ Praise the Lord that He is holding us in this time of unknown. He is the best place to find peace & we know we will soon enough know the direction we go! Please pray with us that we will be at peace with whatever the result is, but pray, Lord willing, that we can have our house and we believe that He wants us there. We will keep you updated!!
