My Dreams Can Wait

I feel so selfish.

Today my husband and I were driving home from another doctors appointment and we drove passed a new home subdivision. I saw the "Open" sign on the model home and decided to "just to see" what it looked like and what the price of the homes were. I have driven passed that subdivision probably over a hundred times in the last year. But today, it called to me. The home was modest and beautiful. It had a good floor plan that would meet my families needs. It was not my dream home by any means, but it would be a good fit for us. The builder is down to the last few lots left to sell, so they are offering to finish the basements for free as an incentive to get them sold. What a deal! The price was incredible.

I was very excited. I begans racking my brain on how I could raise enough for the down payment AND pay down our debt enough so that we can qualify for the home.

I thought, "Maybe, I'll blog about it and ask for donations from my readers. Even small contributions can make a big difference."

Then, I came across a blog about a little girl that has Neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer. Her mother's plea for assistance tugged at my heart. I suddenly felt that my dream of a safe, comfortable home for my family was selfish and insignificant.

This family would be better served by any generous readers than myself. So, if you are feeling generous today, take a minute to read about Serena by clicking the link. http://help-save-serena.blogspot.com/

My dreams can wait, theirs can't.
