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 ...

We Are NOT Here By Accident

on
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you...” Jeremiah 1:5

God knew who we were before we were even born.....Isn't that just an amazing thought when you really think about it! He saw our unformed substance and said, “I have a purpose for this life. I have good plans for them!” Then He breathed His life into each of us and sent us here through our mother and father. They may have had or are having ups and downs throughout our life, but that doesn’t have to stop us from becoming all that God intended for us to be. We have been handpicked by Almighty God to be here at this time in history!

Sometimes we hear parents say, “We weren’t expecting this child. They were a surprise. They were an accident.” Well, that child may have been a surprise to the parents, but they weren’t a surprise to Almighty God ~ NO child can be born without God breathing His life into them. We may think, “Well, I was unwanted. I was an unplanned pregnancy.” Of course, we wouldn’t be here if God didn’t give life to our seed. Think about poor Mary, being a virgin to boot, having a baby ....... do think she planed that?!?!?!?!

In God’s eyes, there is no such thing as a human, being an accident. Remember, He knew who we were and who we are going to be before we were ever born! Find confidence in His love knowing that we are a person of destiny and we are part of His mighty plan! He watched His own son be crucified and then He brought Him back to life so that WE CAN HAVE LIFE! That my friends is the most non-accident there is!

Father, thank You for choosing me before I was ever born. Thank You for knowing me and revealing Yourself to me. I trust that You are working in my life today, even when I can’t see it. I stand in faith knowing that You have a mighty plan for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
