We signed the contract on the land over a year ago and the contract with the builder back in June and here we are in November....still in our house. I had thought we might be in by Easter...make that September...how about December....Easter next year???
On the block we do have a nice big shed...and a pile of road base where the slab will go and the promise of the concreter heading to the site this week.
There have been days in the past couple of months where I have struggled to be patient. Some days I have quietly muttered threats. Some days I have forgotten we even have dreams of a new house on acreage.
And do you know what, all my threats and impatience and forgetting mean nothing in the light of the fact that we have the finance to even attempt this project.
I am reminded that so many people in the world do not even have a home. Some cannot afford a place. Some live in one room shantys with their entire family. Some are still waiting for cyclone and flood destroyed homes to be rebuilt. Some have homes that are filled with pain and anger and grief and loneliness.
I have a beautiful home right now. I have a beautiful new home just waiting to be built. I have 2 lovely men to share those homes with. And I have a gracious, trustworthy and generous God who in ALL things is good.
