It was roughly a year ago Robert and I realized we were heading down a path in our lives which neither of us had ever been. We were starting on a journey which few would understand and yet many have been down in recent years due to the economic issues our nation has faced. We realized we would not and could not afford to keep the house we were renting, our first house as a married couple and a house which we had made our home even if we were renting and we would have to rely on family to have a place to rest our heads at night. During the past year we have been able to grow as a couple and at times we wondered why we were sent down this path, why we had not been able to find a house to rent, why every road we had taken to get into a house had been met with a dead end. There were times I seriously began to wonder what we had done wrong and what we were being punished for. Little did I know that these were not punishments but trials to increase our faith and to set up a miracle from God. A miracle which would help others who may be struggling just like we were and still are at times, see just how BIG of a God we serve and what He will do for His children.
What better time for God to start revealing His miracle – but a year to the day Robert and I made a decision to give up our rental! You know what our God did for us?? Singing… We met with a builder….We met with a builder….We met with a builder!! I am so excited we finally have been able to meet with a builder. I really never thought this day would come. I know we are still several months away (we will have to clean our land up and allow for the house to be built) from actually having a house of our own but this is a big first step.
