Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Adding Something New for 2011

on
To the right you will find an AWESOME devotion that I feel needs to be shared and spread! I get 2 each day from Proverbs 31 Ministries and from Joel & Victoria Olsteen. They offer such wonderful encouragement for everyday living from relationships to finances and how to enjoy life's journey on the way to where we are going. God has a plan for each of us, a plan that he created before we were even born. As long as we stay in his word and allow his perfect will to work in our lives, we will see and receive his grace....grace that surpasses everything!

As we embark on this new year, with God's grace, I will conquer once and for all the debt that lingers.....you know we all have been there or are there now. Student loan, medical, credit card, car loans, mortgages, etc. this list can go on and on but I truly believe that God has put in me a desire and need to be debt free. His word in Romans 13:8 tells us that we are to "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." and other translation says "Pay your debts as they come due. However, one debt you can never finish paying is the debt of love that you owe each other."
So this is my pledge in 2011 - To Get on the Road to Financial Freedom! I will not be anxious or worry about this task as God the Father will see it through!

Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Philippians 4:6

Another great scripture regarding debt: "The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives" Psalm 37:21

Blessings to you all in the New Year and may God truly do a good work in and through you this new year through =)
