How do you know?

I've been a rather confused person lately. I'm stuck on knowing what God is doing or what He is trying to tell us. I've spent so much of my energy lately just trying to figure this out, and I'm so heavy hearted these past few weeks.
Once again, house situation. Well, last time I shared, we were still looking and we still currently are. But we actually put an offer in on a house, and we accepted the counter offer back. I was actually thinking I had gotten my Christmas wish (we put the offer in on Christmas Eve!). Well, it's a foreclosure, which just adds so much more complicated things to the situation. We had 3 days to have an attorney look it over and we did, a family friend who is an attorney. He looked it over and called us back on New Years Eve, and said that it was a weird contract and that it would be pretty high risk for us to go through with this. And Ben and I just knew it wasn't something we wanted to do, and that night, unfortunately, in tears, many tears, decided to back out of an incredible house! I was broken hearted (and still am).
I couldn't believe we were THIS close and I (we) just let it GO. I felt like it slipped through our hands, only we were the ones that let it slip! WHY?

That has been almost 3 weeks later now since we signed termination papers on the place. Has been a sad few weeks, a frustrating few weeks and we move on, right?
Well, right when we have come to a place were we have someone moved on in a good way and have been thinking positive about house hunting and the direction we want to go. I see that the house we had an offer accepted on, has now just reduced the price, again, another $5000. (and actually lower than what we accepted offer on).
And it gives me that heartache all over again! What I can't figure out is why this would keep coming in my face.
That place felt so much like God was showing us that one. And see, that is where I"m "how do you know". Because Ben felt it before I did, that this was the place we have been looking for. I fell in love with it during the showing (he was before that). And even when we did a second showing (with Ben's family), there was a major thing that showed up that it felt like God was saying, see, I'll take care of you!...there was brand new appliance installed! We had NO IDEA that those were going to be there. Because prior to this I was freaking out about this whole deal and wondering where the money was going to come from to purchase this place with $$ down and to also have $$ for the appliance that the place did not have. And here, they show up and I felt like that was God saying, "I'm taking care of you, just do this and accept the offer". I got all RE-EXCITED about the place and we went and accepted the offer!

So here we are again, and it comes to the surface and I feel as though is this GOD once again nudging us to this place or is this just SOMETHING else?!
How do you know?

I talked with the hubby and he is a little more reserved on this subject now and just doesn't want to touch it...and I'm thinking, really? Why is this happening. His first response to me was, "this isn't really waiting Kelly". After we had JUST said we were going to wait for a house a little longer. and now, 2 days later, I'm talking about this house again!
How does something like this happen and how do we know what we are suppose to do. How do you know if this is what God is showing you to do or how do you know that this isn't something that he is putting in your face to show you how to trust Him and NOT do it and wait on Him. I just can't figure this one out and it honestly is making me hurt.
I so badly just want to be in God's will, but how can I even know if that is what is happening!?

I was just praying to God yesterday to give me peace and to help me to LET THIS GO, this whole house hunting thing. I was asking God for patience in this process and that He was already preparing a house for us and for me to just be still in knowing that and that He would direct us when the time is right, to this place.
Is this the place?

I know I could go round and round with this whole thing and analyze every aspect of this situation. That won't help. What I (we) need to do is to turn to God himself and figure out what He is telling us.
So Lord Jesus, I once again give this up to you! I want to know what we are suppose to do and what you want us to do. I want to know...how do I know? Can you please help me to give this up to you completely and just have you guide us in this. I know we both need to be into this 100% and if we aren't, maybe that right there is my answer. Lord I pray that you work in my life and my husbands life through this process. Help us to seek you through this completely. I pray Lord Jesus that you would calm me and reassure me that you are in this or not in this. I know I'm very anxious to get into a house, but Lord, I want it to be the house that you would want us to be in, not just a house because I'm tired of our place. I'm so grateful for the place we live and I don't want to complain about that anymore. You know our desires right now and I pray that I can let those desires go to you and give me the peace I need in this entire situation.
Lord take away the stress, the pain, the heart ache, the frustration, the anxiety.
I give this up to you Lord Jesus.
