As for me and my house . . .

This verse is a favorite of ours. When we built this house and before we actually spent one night in it we had our pastor and some friends come and bless each and every room in this house. It was a very moving experience to hear our friends pray over every room and our lives. This verse appears in almost every room of our home somewhere. "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord."


Serving our Lord is our goal -- it's doesn't always happen, sometimes it's not easy, but the verse if a constant reminder to us that this house, this home, our lives belong to him.


It has been a chaotic summer. Who am I kidding? It has been a chaotic four years. So many things have happened (and not happened) and our lives have been turned upside down, inside out and every which way you can think, but God is faithful.

Even in death God has been faithful. Last week we saw that first hand as hubby's grandmother passed away. None of us were prepared to lose her so soon and she will be greatly missed in our family.

Lord Jesus thank you for allowing us the opportunity to have such a godly woman in our lives. Give us the strength and courage to always serve you.

I'm sorry to hear about hubby's grandmother. :o( I love it that you guys had your house blessed before moving in. Are you still trying to sell it? I hope you guys are doing well.
