Alyssa comes home today! Only for a few hours...better than not at all! I am excited to show her the progress on the house in person. When she left for the lodge, the walls were up; there was no insulation, no drywall, no paint, no sub floor, no cabinets.
The cabinets are in the house and from the look of the drippy weather, they will be installed today! They are beautiful!
The building site is certainly starting to look like a house.
We have been talking about the wise and foolish men in Scripture, and drawing pictures of the ways each of them chose to build their houses. It brought to mind the day we were told that our house was on a foundation, but had not been anchored. I was glad for a wise builder and a wise husband who despite the difficulties it presented had the crew attach the house to the foundation. Now our house will be secure against outside forces that will beat against it. So too will our lives be secure in the Father's hand because we have chosen to anchor to the Rock of our salvation, Jesus Christ.
Amen! And good for you for exercising good judgment and assertiveness. God's own oversight has also been evident from the beginning of your ordeal. I have never lived in a brand new house where I chose everything. What a joyful circumstance amidst troubling conditions. God bless you all as you go through the next transition.
