We are proud new homeowners!
This little green cozy place on the corner in central CO Springs is what we now call home.
It was a long time waiting (since Sept).....we feel God has definitely blessed us WITH good things and He blessed us THROUGH the waiting as well. The waiting is where we were tested.......and during the testing it's our reaction that tends to reflect the condition of our hearts. How would we keep our hearts focused on Him instead of losing patience, forgetting to be grateful for what we already have, forgetting His promises?????.... He loves us, He provides for us, He takes care of us, He knows our every desire. The home buying process didn't stick to our ideal timeline and the events were mostly disappointing and tedious over several months. And yes, we struggled to keep our hearts focused on God, the one who finishes what He started and who blesses us lavishly every day. It took daily reminders of His goodness and faithfulness and lots of prayers to re-focus our hearts to align with His.
Within hours after closing, we were in our work clothes to start demolition. We pulled up carpet, pulled down blinds and curtains, we constructed walls, textured walls and started painting. We had little time to do LOTS before moving completely in.
The kitchen was in need of several updates (not there yet) but the barn red cabinets & new appliances are a vast improvement! More painting to do and more projects on the list, but I'm most excited to do all the "little things" that make a house a home! Can't wait to host you in our home!
--Lord, please bless this home and all who enter it. May it be a place your Kingdom is built and where are hearts belong to You. May it be a place where we are daily experience your forgiveness and grace and where we constantly strive to be like Jesus. --
