Lately on my mind has been the concept of how and why things tend to happen the way they do. Fate? Luck? God's plan?
Yes, most likely the latter. Nursing school not working out was a huge blow to me. For a few months, I had a plan, and it felt awesome. I knew what I was going to do, when I'd be done, and that I was almost guaranteed a job when I was done. More than that, I knew that I'd LOVE it. After finding out it wasn't going to work out, I felt a little lost. Now what? I almost signed on to do Stevens-Henager's program (a lot more expensive), but for some reason I couldn't put my finger on, just felt wrong about it. So here I am, back to the U plan, with no idea what I should major in.
On to the next major thing in life. Cord and I decided we should buy a house rather than rent again. It's an excellent time to buy, we can afford it, and it would be a great investment. So we get pre-qualified, find ourselves an agent, and find ourselves the perfect little house. And I have a great feeling about it. Everything is on track for us to close in less than a month. I will have my own home before Christmas!
Too good to be true, I guess. We find out that if you work for a temp. agency, which Cord "technically" does, you have to be working there for at least a year for a mortgage company to count it as income. We try to explain to them that he is not a temp, he is contracted-to-hire, which means that he will have a job with Superior Technical Resources until L-3 officially hires him on. Not good enough, though.
Awesome.
So now what do I do?? We are currently trying to get the whole mess figured out. In a week's time, hopefully we will know a lot more about where we'll be living next.
Cord's handling the disappointment a lot better than I am. I hate change, and I hate not having a plan. Which is exactly what is happening right now. He keeps telling me that maybe we're just not meant to get that house. Ugh Cord. Stop being so wise.
That scripture in D&C keeps popping into my head. Maybe God is trying to tell me something? Yeah, probably. "Search diligently, pray and always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good."
Ok fine. I'll keep trying to do that.
