I NEED BOB!!!

I had to tour the 80's Movie House (#10) without Bob. I am very confident in my decision-making ability and definitely don't mind having all power and authority given to me....  :) But in this case I was nervous to see it without Bob. Scheduling the tour with the owner wasn't easy (it was being rented), so I wanted to be able to decide then and there if it would work for us or not. But how could I see it with realistic eyes?? I always see possibility - it can be changed. I see the good - THIS part is nice. We can fix the bad. But Bob... well. Bob sees it for what it is, even if it means me begging and pleading with him, and trying to clearly explain/draw/envision in 1000 different ways that it can be better.

But this was a one shot deal. I had to be able to decide by myself if it was what we've been waiting for. It felt weird to feel reluctant to take on that responsibility. I guess that shows that Bob and I are a good (if not easy) team, though, huh? :)) And God used that time to create an awesome moment in my life that I keep telling people about.

Here goes:
As I was driving to my appointment, I asked my best prayer warriors (2 friends and my brother and sister) to pray for wisdom. My sister said she'd pray for clarification. That God would make it VERY clear to me whether is was the house for us or not.

I toured the house with the owner, walked the property, etc. I'll tell you - 25+ acres is HUGE. I've been saying for years that I want 20-40 acres (more views and privacy), but after walking that, I cannot imagine having to care for that much land. I like my space, but I think 10 acres will do.

Anyway, there were several nice parts and several not nice parts (already explained in the previous post). I didn't have an "aha" feeling. I was very much neutral. I later told Bob that it's like that deal you make (or have heard some people might make) where you are talking to your opposite-gender friend and you say to each other "if neither of us is married by the time we're 35, let's just marry each other." We'll make it work. I felt that way about the house. We could make it work, but I wasn't that excited about it.

But here's where the story gets cool. Still feeling neutral, I got in my car to leave and the radio was blasting. The song was at this part: "all I know is I'm not home yet, this is not where I belong..." !!!!???!!! THANK YOU, GOD!! I'm pretty sure that was a clear answer. :))
