train tracks.....faith or foolish?

So, you've been reading my ramblings on not knowing where i'm going to live and where i'm going to work. (Bless you.) Well, yesterday i found out something--i got the townhouse--if i want it, and OH do i want it! The thing is, i don't have a job lined up yet. Hmmm. Quite the predicament.

This morning i wondered, in between sips of coffee, is it bold to have faith that God is going to provide a job for me soon, so that i can afford the townhouse--or, is it crazy to take a townhouse before i've got the job?

Somehow the movie Under the Tuscan Sun came to mind. It's the movie where Diane Lane goes through a divorce and starts completely over in Tuscany. She buys a house and knows that she's crazy for doing it. But by the end of the movie, she says "They built train tracks before there was ever a train in existence that could make the trip." Before. That sounds like faith.

So, i don't know what i'm going to do. All i can really do is keep praying that the resumes i've sent out will get into the hands of the people that want to give me a job. And i can continue acknowledging that God is bigger than my circumstances. He knows where i'm going to live and what i will do. Heck, He knows how many hairs there are on my head. He's got this. And i do believe He wants to not only bless me through this, but draw me closer to Himself through this time of waiting.
