One of the things I hope to always remember about this journey is the amount of thought and prayer that went in to it. We walk to the house *almost* every day, as long as it's not raining and muddy. I find myself praying on our walks to the house and while I'm walking through the house. Praying for our family and for God to bless our house and all of the memories, activities, fellowship and ministry opportunities that will take place there. I pray for each family member as I walk around to "their" area of the home. I pray for our builder and his wife and son. I pray for our project manager and his family. I pray for the numerous contractors, the ones we see, but don't know. I pray for their safety, for their family and that they will feel the presence of God in our home. That they will know that we are His. I've loved the time with our girls that we have had while walking there, from our rental. I've even loved the time in our "cozy" rental, we've had a lot of time to learn and grow while we've been here.
While praying over our home, I was reminded of many verses that I want us to remember and have written on our hearts. I saw on Pinterest several posts of people that had literally written the verses on the studs of their home, and I LOVED the idea. I wrote verses on notecards that I wanted to include in our home. I asked the girls and Jason for their favorite verses and anything they wanted to include. It was impressed with the verses they requested and we spent several hours at the house, writing The Word on our walls. I love that we will know that they are there, even when they are covered with drywall and furniture/cabinets. We will know that under it all, hidden away, just as in our hearts, is the Word of God.
So far, this is my favorite part of the process.
