Want vs need

God doesn't always give us what we want but He always gives us what we need.
I have been constantly reminded of that lately. We lost the house we were going to purchase in FL just days before we were supposed to close. It was heart wrenching. I cried, of course, and Jason held it together. About the same time we lost the house God had something better in the works. The same day the deal on the house fell through we found a rental house in the same neighborhood just a few streets over. The only down side is that we can't move in until July 1st.
So that left Gavin and I in a lurch. (Jason is in RI for navy training more on that later.) We had already scheduled our move to Jacksonville so they packed up all of our stuff and put it in storage. So with an empty house and a heavy heart we left Harrogate and headed to MI.
It may all seem overwhelming at times, I know that right now this is where we need to be.
