The Universe is challenging me..

[lildreamer316]

Not in the way you might think, but...yes. I'm being given the chance to use the Secret/LOA/Whathaveyou/Faith.
Husband and I are looking to move closer to his work, about 2 hours south near the largest city in the state.
I like to look around on the 'net to see what's out there. Home means a lot to me. Really have a thing for older houses and acreage; want some land to spread out on and a house to settle into and pass down, since my old family house got razed about six years ago. I want a place I can settle and be happy forever; make it the family homestead, pass it down generations. I like that sense of place; it's very important to my peace of mind (fortunately or unfortunately..).
I spotted an old victorian with some land that needed some work and hunted down the website to have a closer look.
Unfortunately, I didn't specify enough parameters for the search and they listed EVERY property they had.
So I'm wading through the list to find the house,and something catches my eye--my last name!
!?!
So I click on the link and find a 10-acre property with a beautiful built-in-1992-but-looks-like-1882 farmhouse and barn with almost every amenity I could ever want in the EXACT area we wanted.
The road it's on IS my last name and the numbers of the house are the four that I use all the time-they have a special meaning for me. Only two of them are reversed from my usual usage.
Ummm..CLUE????

Execpt one thing:









IT"S OVER A MILLION DOLLARS.



Sigh.

Challenge? Or the universe teasing me?
You think I should stick it on my vision board and go for it? Or am I aiming too high? (in the forseeable future the most I could afford with my/our credit and the houses we have would be about 300,000 IF we were lucky and sold both.)
I mean, how much more of a clue can you get-living on a road with my last name.
This is such a challenge to my way of thinking. It's so outside what I believe to be the realm of possibility. Of course that probably means I need to change what I think is possible and really REALLY use that LOA, right?
Ideas? Encouragement? Discouragement? Eek! :bounce:
Sorry if this sounds trivial and materialistic, but.....wow.

1. Wow!!!! That's really cool, lildreamer!

My first instinct is to say, Go for it! I will follow that by saying that you shouldn't focus too much on the HOW. Who knows; maybe you will have to land in another place first; maybe a way will be made for you to have the house right away. I think if you focus too much on what you have, that's what you'll have. But if you focus on what you want, you could open yourself to ideas, etc., on how to get there, or open your eyes to opportunities to bring you to that house (or bring the house to you) that you may not be able to see right now.

:grouphug: for all good things for you!

2. Dream big lildreamer!

Why not? Remember the Universe sees no difference in size. It doesn't care if you're asking for a cardboard box under the freeway or a mansion.

Put it on your board, and then start "acting as if" . Contact an agent and make an appointment to see the house. Make note of what you would change: paint, carpet, drapes, etc. Then get some paint, carpet, and fabric samples and add them to your board. Maybe buy a new welcome mat or new street numbers for the front of the house. Go to the post office and pick up a change-of-address form. And then buy some preprinted labels with the new address on them!

Act as if :)

3. WOW!!!

I like the first two suggestions you've recieved. I'll add something. Keep looking and have faith that the perfect home will be found. It might be this one (you might figure out a way to afford it), or it might be another one which has everything you want and is in your price range.

Last fall I was hunting for a house/apartment to rent; we made a list and I looked and looked and low and behold got nearly everything we wanted (some more than we wanted) for the price we looked for. I knew that if I looked long enough the right "deal" would come my way.

4. Ask the universe...

Be open to any way money might come your way. You never know how things may unfold. I've had money coming in very odd ways. I say, just be open.


Speak your dreams to the Universe.

5. Very interesting situation, lildreamer. It's my understanding...

that our manifestation efforts can only work if we truly, completely believe that it is possible to manifest the thing that we want to manifest. Do you think that you can do that here? If so, I'd say that it's possible for you to manifest this.

Good luck! :)


(On edit: Something just popped into my head, so I thought that I'd better share it since the message might be for you. We've all heard the story of the mother whose child is trapped under a car, and she saves her child by lifting the car off of him/her. Everyone says that it's adrenaline that allows her to do this. I'm sure that adrenaline is part of it, but I also think that it's because she truly, completely believes at that time that she can do it. That's how manifestation works.)

6. I hate to be a wet blanket...

actually, I'm a Cancer Sun with Virgo rising, so I love to be a wet blanket.

Anyway, I would add a note of caution here. I think that buying something that one cannot pay for is a form of "lack conciousness", where one thinks one is not good enough unless one has the item one lusts after.

I'm not trying to say that you don't deserve the house of your dreams, I believe you will live there. In fact, you already live there.

I'm just saying that I am manifesting the million dollars before I get the house. I am not interested in manifesting a million dollar mortgage (I rent a house on the water myself).

7. Oh, I totally agree. No million dollar mortgage! n/t

8. Oh, believe me...

I would HAVE to manifest the money BEFORE the house....my credit is in SHAMBLES.
My parents were survivors of the depression (born in '33 and 34 respectively); and so I was brought up with the idea of don't buy anything you can't pay for, usually with cash, right then and there. (My credit got crashed after the death of my fiance and the attendant bills that ensued-I'm sure you understand).
I have only had one credit card in my life and it had a limit of $500. I cut it up after a year...
We consistantly pay for stuff in cash; and I have a debit card--that's it.
I am certainly NOT wanting to mainifest a high payment. That is certainly in my affirmations also.
We will see what the universe has in store. I am happy with the fact that I don't have a high burden of debit hanging over me right now, and I'd like to keep it that way.
