House of God

As of today, Lee and I are now the owners of a mobile home. This home is only five minutes from my parents house, 10 minutes from my work, and fifteen minutes from Nan's. It has a very small yard of its own. The park it resides in is inexpensive and quiet. The home is ours - we paid cash for it. It needs work, but out of nowhere God's people are swarming to "get it fixed up" for us. That is something I wasn't even expecting. I am so humbled and so grateful. I have never asked for this much prayer in my life, and God has really come through for us.

We will spend the next month moving in slowly, getting it cleaned up and up to shape. I am going to name it "House of God" or something similar, because it really is.

I will post more later.

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15

Thanks be to God!! God truly gives in abundance! Congratulations! If you need any help with remodeling/painting/moving, etc. let us know. We've had lots of experience and we're cheap. (free) :::giggle:::

Rachel,
I almost burst into tears when you told me about that church offering to help. The believers in this area are very strong and good people.

I am so thrilled that you guys have a home and paid cash. You will have so much fun fixing it up and taking care of it.
