The HOME Edition

The last 72 hours have been a bit of a blur. I think I said that just a few posts ago. In actuality that would make the last week a total blur. If I was technical.

N's grandma is in town to visit. With the newest great-grandson's arrival, she decided to come see what we were all up to. While she's been here, she's decided to invest in some real estate.

N and I were her first choice as occupants in this investment. That means we're moving. Into a home here. Next weekend.

I think it's safe to say the next week will be a total blur too.

The house is perfect. It's 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. For anyone with a husband, you know the second bathroom is of highest importance. The living/dining/kitchen is all open. If you have kids, being able to see the majority of the house from one vantage point is of highest importance.

I am completely awed that she would do this and offer us the opportunity to live in it. We've been living with my mom for 15 months. Which is another blessing completely. It's not easy having your daughter and her family move in with you. Especially when N and I didn't like each other when we moved.

She's given us shelter and an environment for our marriage to strengthen and grow.

Now N's grandma is giving us the opportunity to have a home where our family can strengthen and grow.

To say I'm overwhelmed would be an understatement. My prayer is that N and I don't make the same mistakes we did when we first got married. That God's love and glory can be demonstrated in our home.

Joshua 24:15b - But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
