Certified Letter

Yesterday, Adam and I checked the mail when we got home. We recieved a notice from the post office that we had a certified letter to pick up. We joked about what it possibly could be, and then determined that it had to be from the bank or a bill. I dreaded it during the ride to the post office today, wondering what would be inside that certified letter. As I stood at the counter though and signed for the letter, I glanced over to see who it was from. It was from our old property manager. They were mailing us our refunded deposit from our old rental house. It was money! They weren't asking us to give them money. It was a check for us! YAY! Praise God. We had completely forgotten about it and God proved Himself faithful once again. The money came just in time. The Lord is my shepherd and I shall NOT want. Amen.

Make it Simple, Just You and Me God!

I'm sorry I have not posted in a while. Simple House has kept us very busy. We now have 6 total people living in the house including Adam and I. We are almost done painting the bedrooms, and walls are beginning to look a little more like rooms.

One thing I will say is that God's revelation is being poured out. It has been incredible to hear the dreams and visions and revelations from God that those living here are experiencing. There is something about getting rid of the needless junk in your life and making room in your heart, mind, and time for God to speak to you.

Adam and I were starting to feel a little worn out so we recognized Sunday as the Sabbath and did not do anything for renovation. It felt great to just sit back and enjoy God, people, and the house. We figured out that 3 of the trees in our backyard are Pear Trees!!! Yum! If they all ripen correctly without diseases or bugs, we are going to have A LOT of fruit! :) YAY!

God is so faithful. It is pretty remarkable to see the vision that God gave you begin to take shape. And to live in the fulness of that -- wow. The Lord is faithful. Always.

The Rollercoaster

From March to the last week in June, I felt like I was on a rollercoaster going up the hill. Click...click...click...click. I felt like at JHOP I was sitting on the hill temporarily... and as soon as I got home, we were off on the rollercoaster ride. Everything is happening very quickly. I barely have time to stop and look around, much less write a blog about it. But it is good. We are not overwhelmed. I don't have time to be overwhelmed. :)

There is still a little insulation to be put in but the majority is done. Adam has been building walls for the prayer room with the help of many. Another handful of us have been painting the bedrooms so we can get carpet in soon. Floors should start going in soon.

Three people have already moved in with us.... soon to be four. God is doing a quick thing and I truly feel like I am just along for the ride. People keep asking me questions about logistics, and I just answer them "All I know is what I am doing right now. We will cross that bridge when we get there."

It is an adventure. Please keep us in prayer. We need it. But God is so faithful.

A Quick Update

We bought the house!!! It is officially ours. While I was in DC at Justice House of Prayer, Adam and an amazing group of people packed and cleaned our old house, cleaned our new house, and moved everything over. They were angels from Heaven! :) Oh yes... and DC was AWESOME!

God is so good. Adam, Adam's dad, Shawn and some others finished the insulation in the attic. We are still trying to rearrange, clean, and open boxes. We are putting in walls this week so we can start on floors next week. What an adventure. Everything is going well. God seems to be teaching us patience and that His mercies are new every morning.

Simple House is in construction mode. But the vision has become reality. Wow. God is good!
