Peaceful Valley

contrasts

We went to look at a house for rent in Mexico today.  We are feeling that our family needs a break from pioneer living before we get onto the property, there are a few months of work getting it ready for our trailer, and even then life will be so rustic that we thought a break would be a good idea.  The house we looked at in Mexico was a row house.  Two stories, concrete front and back, 3 tiny bedrooms and a hookup outside for a washer.  There were a few trees in the neighborhood but not so much as a speck of grass near this one.  So I ponder what to do.  The price is the same, I can live near pretty trees, a creek bed with lots of birds singing and bunnies running, but struggle with the lack of privacy and small quarters of the trailer, or I can have running water and a bit more space but be surrounded by concrete.

What would you choose?

Praying that there will be a third door from the Lord.

praying for you!

Decisions like this are hard arent they? I'm not sure either what I would do so I'm not much help...lol! So all I can do is join you in prayer and pray that God does indeed open that third door.

Hmm...

I've no idea what we'd actually do in your shoes! I do wonder if a 'break' is a good thing, though....re-acclimating afterwards might not be pretty, ya know what I'm sayin?
Let us know if God opens that 3rd door and/or what you end up deciding!!
