Buying the house - setback

We heard from our lender that we really don't qualify for the house we want to buy, two weeks after he said that we did. Bad news. And it's true unfortunately. However, that is not the end of the story. Our daughter, Christine, who wanted us to get out of the motorhome, is working on her financial paperwork this weekend to see if she qualifies to buy the house. I have a very good feeling about this house being the one we are supposed to live in. So I have faith all will work out right. Setbacks seem to actually be the norm for those living by faith. They are little or big tests of our faith. That is how our faith is strengthened. I do believe that God is in control of our lives and of all things concerning our lives, and He is able to make it all happen, and in the meantime, our faith in Him is strengthened.
I love to get things free from Craig's List and Freecycle. There are so many things coming up lately that we will need in our new house, but I can't go get them because I have no place to store them. I see these as promises from God that when we do need them, He will provide. I do not need to worry or rush. I am resting in Christ's peace and confident that all of our needs will be met at the right time and in the best way.
