I have taken these pictures to show you what our house looks like now. I mentioned in one of our first blogs that we live in a humble abode on our five acres. I wasn't joking. About two weeks ago our red banisters were white(you'll have to get your imagination wheels rolling on this) and for a certain purpose we decided to paint our porch
red. Wednesday, before all the rain hit, I was able to put a fresh new coat of white paint on my swing. As you can see in the picture of the whole house, we had a good bit of wind to come through before the rain and it was taking our flag for a ride.
After having to wait for so long, we are finally in the beginning stages of giving our home a much needed makeover. I can't give it away now, but
for a particular reason(no, we do not have another baby on the way), we are doing some painting, repairing, and preparing to make some much needed home improvements/upgrades. I am excited with what and why we are doing what we are doing. I am just praying that God will continue to guide us as we progress forward.
Have I mentioned I can be impatient when I am excited for something to happen?
As we continue to move forward with this project, we are having to wait for God to open some doors to see our plans completely through. It is something that should take months(although less
than a year)although and it would be okay with me if it could be complete in a month. Realty is, it ain't gonna happen. I plan to try and stay much in prayer with our situation. I assure you the simple fact that we are finally in the beginning stages of the needed repairs is itself an answer to many prayers. With out hesitation, Joseph and I know prayer works and it will be my only
way to survive each slow step of progress. The Lord has been faithful to answer many of our prayers in the past and we know He's not going to stop now.
I will be sure to keep you posted.
In Christ,
Stephanie
