Home!

I love our new home so much! It is nothing big and fancy. 1 bathroom. A little on the smaller side. A smallish quaint kitchen. But just right. I love it.

I love how quiet our neighborhood is. And how pretty. There are lots of trees. Our house backs up to the woods (rather than neighbors behind us) and it is really cool. Jeff took me out to the back tonight to show me a beautiful sight. Looking back at the woods we could see hundreds of fireflys! It was so cool. It almost looked like Christmas lights. There are also a ton of blackberries back there. You can smell that sweet smell as you walk down to the woods. I just LOVE it!

We finished the bathroom. Jeff worked on it today while I was at work. He had to patch up some big holes and repaint. Then he hung the shelves. He did a great job!




God is so good. I'm definitely praying alot about our future in this house. We will have lots of good memories and maybe even some sad ones. We might bring another baby home to this home. We might grieve over the loss of a loved one in this home. Colin might become a child of God in this home. Colin might break a bone in this home! Whether good or bad happens in this home...it is still home. And that is comforting.

Kind of like God. Whether good or bad happens...God is still God. And that is comforting.

I pray that this home is glorifying to God. I don't want it simply be a roof over our heads. I want it to be a safe haven for my family. But I also want it to be a safe haven for other people as well. I would LOVE for our house to be a place where someone might come to know Christ. I want to use this as part of our ministry here. I just hope that I remember that this is not MY house but a house that God has given to me to be a steward of. Really this is the case for EVERYTHING. Nothing belongs to me. My house, my money, my job, my husband, my son....all of it belongs to God and I am simply entrusted to it.
