When we talked to the apt complex we're in, we were told that there were no open 3BR apt and so we'd have no trouble finding a sub-leaser.  By the time the seller of the house we want accepted our offer, we were suddenly 3rd on the list.  And we just found out yesterday that we are now 4th on the list...meaning there are three 3BR apt that will be filled before ours can become "available". 

Since this is a growing area I'm hoping that they will fill quickly, but it really will be a strain on our finances.  I may have to take a job if the apartments don't fill up soon enough.  We have until November to find one before we start paying on the mortgage of the new house. 

We have one "out" that we could take on the house.  We had the contract put up with the contingency of us approving a house inspection.  There ARE a couple of issues with the house that we have.  They are fixable, but they would cost money....which we wouldn't have because of the apartment situation.  The whole thing is making me really uneasy.  We may have to pull out. 

I have mixed feelings about it.  I like the house, but the basement gets water.  The A/C isn't working, which means the heat isn't working....and winter is around the corner.  It may be a minor thing to tweak, but we don't know for sure.  The gutters have "issues".  The windows are older, but that was something that we already knew.  The neighborhood scares me....I found out that there are 3 sexual predators down the road- one very close. 

So....I would appreciate prayers for us as we make this decision TODAY!  Thanks. :)

oh goodness. I know that feeling, where you are having doubts, but since you are not sure if they are your doubts or the Lord's, it is difficult to decide. I am praying that He will guide events to His will for you.
