Often, God puts us in a position that we must rely on Him, and not on ourselfes for our needs. You mentioned you were "Proud" that you had purchased your new home. Maybe God saw this pride and wanted you to see that it was not you, but He that did this for you. God "chastens" His children (I know, he has chasened me often) Anyway, just remember that if you are one of God's children (through a belief in Christ) He will NEVER let your needs go unmet, it just might be His timing and not ours. My 2 cents
