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 ...

The Plan ~ His Plan ~ Will Stand

on
“There are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the LORD’s counsel — that will stand.” Proverbs 19:21

God is strategic, He has laid out an exact plan for our lives right down to the smallest details. He knows the people we need to meet in order to fulfill our destiny. He knows who is going to give us a good break and who is going to put in a good word for us. He knows when someone is going to need to be there to help us out of a difficult time. God has it all figured out. ~ He is not vague or approximate AND never does anything half way.

He is orchestrating our lives right down to the very second, causing us to be at the right place at the right time so we can meet the right people that He has ordained before the foundation of the world. Some people still believe in luck, that isn't luck, it is Him working on our behalf!

We probably can look over our life and see how, time after time, God directed our steps to the exact moment. If we had been ten seconds earlier or ten seconds later, things would have played out totally different, that is God orchestrating His plan ~ that is God ordering our steps ~ that is God working all things together for our good. All we have to do is stay faithful to Him and follow His leading because in the end, His plan will stand!

Father, thank You for orchestrating my life. I trust that my times are in Your hands. I trust that You are working things out for my good as I keep my faith and hope in You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
