In the last couple of weeks I have:
*picked out my first appliances I will own
*bought more primer than I know what to do with
*spent more in one Lowe's trip than my first car
*picked out, matched/put together cabinets, counters, tiles and paint color- its alot harder than it sounds starting from scratch!
*seen the Lord work in ways I can't even explain. Who knew one day you could walk into Lowe's, pick out three different appliances and as they ring them up say "oh yeh, these are all on sale" despite what the sign says. In that very same trip we "won" a free gallon of paint and primer. The Lord is blessing us in HUGE and little ways that are such a reminder that we are following Him in this adventure!
*ordered carpet- did you know it comes in 12 or 15 ft rolls? And you pay for it in that amount so if you don't use all of it, you still pay for it? who knew.
*packed more crap than I could imagine that we owned. and we're not even halfway done.
*had blessing after blessing of people giving us furniture, appliances, offering help and support- its doesn't go unnoticed and we SO appreciate it!
I'm super excited and nervous but also totally at peace with being right in the Lords hands. Every last detail He has ordained and it has been perfect. I am thankful beyond belief for a God that cares so much about the big AND the little things- and all things we never even needed.
At some point I do have photos to show of our disaster zone we are currently living in. I'm kind of embarrassed at the condition of our place, but I guess it happens to everyone in the process of moving? :)
