Lady's house-hunting experience in Australia
While they eventually settled for a two-bedroom apartment in an estate, with a kitchen and big rooms, in Nigeria, she noted that getting the perfect house in Australia was a herculean task.
When they began house-hunting in Australia, the lady admitted that nothing seemed right, prompting her to suggest a smaller space, as she had done during their Lagos house-hunting.
According to the lady, who is a fashion designer and a lawyer, her husband changed his mind at the last minute, assuring her that they would definitely secure the perfect house.
She said her husband is the prayerful type, who prays about anything and everything. They later got a two-bedroom apartment in Australia, which came with a sun room, a garage, a garden, two bathrooms and a dining.
She, however, noted that the rent was higher. Her statement in the video partly read:
"...Fast forward to Australia, same story. We were searching, but nothing seemed right. I suggested a smaller space as usual, but he said, patience, and we almost settled for a smaller place, but at the last minute, it was taken. My husband prays about anything and everything.
"And that's how my husband was like, don't worry, he's gonna get a perfect house for us. And that's how we found this two-bedroom with its bathrooms, two big palaces, a sun room, a garage, and a garden.
"And I'm like, what else are we looking for? Although the rent was a bit higher, but it was definitely worth it. It also has a dining. And honestly, anytime I sleep and wake up in this house, I'm like, is this actually a dream or is this my reality? And that's why I'm always giving thanks to God, because God really comes through for us.
"And I'm actually grateful for my husband, because if he's left to me, I do not have patience for back and forth. So the lesson is just have patience and trust God."
