Psalm 127:1a - "Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain."
Well, last Thursday, we found out the house was going to cost $15,000 too much to build. We prayed all week about what to do, met with our pastor on Tuesday night, had our church praying for wisdom for us, and sent some possible changes to our building consultants that should have lowered the quote by about $7000.
Then yesterday (Wednesday), we went to review the new numbers. Without losing very many features at all, the numbers had lowered $15,000!! Why do we even try to make things work on our own?!? God is amazing!
We are working on final loan approvals and some final details before the construction phase begins, but we are super excited to build and raise our family in a house that meets our needs. That is all for now, we will keep you up to date as things progress.

Why do we worry? Because it is so much fun! Beside, since we worried, it worked out (hopefully, you know that is total sarcasm). YEAH!!!!! for the new house plans. YEAH!!!! God's ways still work! YEAH!!! Can't wait to see the finished product. YEAH!! See you Tuesday. YEAH! Luke, if you want to see us, we will hang around Tuesday evening after your work. MOM
WOW!!
What a cool story. That's amazing. I can't WAIT to see what this new house will look like. If you are doing any of it yourselves, let me know. I will try to come up and put some love into it. As long as it's not painting (hehe).
Praise the Lord! It's so encouraging to hear stories like that. Warms the heart. Love you three!!!
