I want a new house....

I really, REALLY want a new house.  I want a huge family room with a fireplace where we can all fit at the same time.  I want a huge dining room that we can all fit around the table for family dinners and holiday celebrations.  I want a beautiful room for my scrapbook room.  I want an office with real cabinets, desks and lots and lots of storage.  I want an extra room to turn into an exercise room.  I want a guestroom and a playroom.  I want a laundry room that is it's own destination not a walk through.  And it would be wonderful if that laundry room had places to hang damp clothes and a sink.  I want a huge walk in shower in our new master bedroom.  I want a big backyard with a pool, deck, dog run and grass.  I want a 3 car garage.  I want there to be a shop at the back of the property for all my husband's tools and a place for him to build, create and also maintain our trucks. 

I'm sure by now you noticed that these are things that "I want."  Notice that I haven't mentioned what G wants.  He wants to retire.  He wants to be financially set for life.  He wants to be sensible.  He wants to be open and reasonable.  He wants to give me everthing I want and more.  He wants me to be happy.  And if happiness means all of the above...he'll do it.  But... at what cost? 

Lord, I am praying that you make me content with what I have.  Help me to be smart about this.  If this new house search is from You, then find us a house that meets everything I need and want in a way that won't compromise what Gary needs, too.  Most of all Lord, help me to be true to my own purpose...to love those who You have placed in my life...to put their needs and wants above my own.  Thank you Father!
