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 ...

In a Moments Notice

So often we miss out on God’s best because we give up too soon.

We don’t realize how close we are to our victory. Just another few days of believing, another few weeks of doing the right thing, or another few months of staying in faith is all we may need to see His promises come to pass. Today, speak by faith over your life just as I am doing for my own life. Our breakthrough is right around the corner!

We might be saying, “I don’t know how I’m going to make it. Things seem to be getting worse instead of better.” We become tempted to think, "I’m never going to find my spouse", or "I’m never going to get that promotion", or "I’m never going to break this addiction". But we can, because the truth is our Heavenly Father is closer than we think.

Usually the intensity gets turned up when victory is near. The enemy would not be fighting so hard if he didn’t already know he was about to lose his grip on us. When those negative thoughts come that would discourage us, just just need to remind ourselves that we are children of the Most High God. Let our words be, “I am an overcomer. I am the head and not the tail. I am a victor and not a victim.”

Scripture is full of people who were closer than they thought...
*David faced impossible odds against Goliath, but he was moments away from victory (1 Samuel 17).
*Elijah was surrounded by 400 false prophets, but the power of God was about to be revealed for everyone to see (1 Kings 18).
*Joseph was forgotten and left in prison, but he was just a dream away from his royal position (Genesis 39–40).

Can you imagine if David dropped his slingshot and ran? What if Elijah had backed down? What if Joseph had stopped dreaming? They didn’t give up, and God gave them victory! These stories reveal that it is often the darkest right before the dawn.

Perhaps today you are facing impossible odds, just like me. Maybe you feel surrounded, maybe you feel forgotten. The good news is that our God can act suddenly in our situation. In a moment’s notice, everything can change for the better!

I believe and declare that God is going to open doors on my and your behalf. My faith and your faith will be rewarded. Our dawn is almost here. He will put us in the right position to win. He is going to give us inside information. He will do the impossible in my life and your life. Get ready!

Believe God’s best for you, and be excited that we are going to see God move in our situation sooner than we think! We are going to be amazed at His goodness in the days to come.
