a home beyond my expectation

I can't contain the joy that is bubbling inside me..guess writing it down is the best way to let it out=) as a reminder too of his goodness. I love reminiscing the past events when His goodness supersedes my expectation. Read only if you're into details, if not just the ones in bold;)

It was about two weeks back that my agent told me I had to move out as my landlady is selling of the place. I was a little sad, not fully as I had never quite like staying in a noisy environment. I love the convenience here though.

So I did what I should. Copy down the agent numbers. Do a search on the internet. Sign up for website that gave me more access to room details. I did this over & over again. Yesterday I spent the whole afternoon searching. It was so intense I needed to take a break. It was when I wanted to call it for a day, I saw an advertisement unbelievable to me.
These were my thoughts, "It cannot be so cheap. I think PUB is not included since it has air-con. It's rundown. It's old. Many people is staying in the place..."
It was a picture of the room I saw. It didn't look at all attractive. A double storey terrace house. The price was LOW. The lowest price I've seen in all my search as compared to all the hdb prices I saw. I called up the agent to give it a try.
I showed my colleague the picture & she has been teasing me ever since.. "Spooky, spooky..." "If you don't see me at work tomorrow, you know where to look for me" Hehe.
But one thing I knew was, "When I see it, I'll know that it's the house for me"
As I got of the bus stop, I love what I saw. Greeneries. People jogging around. Serene. And as I walk up the slope, I was looking around for an old house. When she stopped at a pretty house, pretty new too, I couldn't believe my eyes. The house doesn't match what my thoughts were & the picture I saw.
The first thing the aunty said when she saw me was, "So pretty":)..I was with my glasses on and tired after bringing my kids out the whole day for rehearsal. She just stared at me admiringly. Hehe. The one thing that got us connected and talking so much was, she's from ipoh too! And she used to stay the street just next to where my house is now.
I love my room I saw. Plus point : away from sunlight=) This house feels like my house in Ipoh. The way the furnitures are and how it's arranged. Even the back kitchen is connected to the neighbour like the one at home. A garden is something I always wish for. She showed me her fren -a star print tortoise when I was about to leave. She invited me for a simple dinner. Oh how I love home cook food even in its simplest form. Gave me my favourite mango & it's from her own tree.
I remember telling my fren this one day while walking around her house estate in 6th ave..I wish I could stay in a house and come out and walk around the estate to feel the night breeze. When i'm in the bus travelling pass all the houses, I would have this wish again.
And He made it come true for me in the sweetest way.
This was something I saw while writing. Sometimes we have so many misconception about things that we start worrying about it and even have negative thoughts. But in fact, god has already all good planned and prepared for us. My bad thoughts about the house could not change how it would turn out to be. He did not disqualify me from it. We simply receive the gift regardless of what it's said right/wrong. In fact, even if you did think negative, it'll cause you to be even more amazed when you experience it.
The last msg my mum sent to me on Sunday & in her last lines were, "TRUSTJESUS".
When faith & trust meets, you see Jesus working.
