Who knew one could get so excited over seeing some red Mississippi clay all over one's land? We are thrilled because this means our house, which will soon be our home, is just days away from being placed.
When I was little we sang a Psalty the Singing Song Book song called, "Don't Build Your House on the Sandy Land"...
Double wide house planting 101; you cannot place sand underneath your house. It must be a firm dirt or clay. Otherwise you will sink. "Oh, it might be kind of nice, but you'll have to build it twice, oh you'll have to build your house once more!"
Last Monday, we prayed over our house as we left it sitting on the lot, our heart's prayer, "Lord, make this house a home that will be a safe haven not only for our immediate family, but for any one who passes through. May our home reflect the unique characteristics of our family dynamics and put all at ease who enter. May incorrect assumptions regarding passed stigmas of the type of home we have chosen for our family, cease to exist. May the walls of our home testify that even in private we want Jesus, that His Lordship guides our home. May the relationships that we build and sustain under this very roof glorify our Maker. Protect the hearts in this home, as real brokenness is contained in every fiber of our being. May it never be said of us that, "we did not know the Lord nor the work which He has done" (Judges 2:10). This very home is a testimony of a very alive and active God, who pursues sweet things for His people and blesses them. We are humbled! May our home be foretaste of everlasting fellowship divine. Amen!"
"As for us and our double wide, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!" Joshua 24:15 (double wide version ;)
Thank you Jesus, for abundant blessings!
