Our Home

"You have been good, You have been faithful" This is the song on our hearts from the day we left Maui to now. God answered our prayers and brought us a home that inspires, resonates, and gets the creative juices flowing! We made certain requests that were answered: all one floor, in Carmel by the Sea (walk to everything), we have space, and we all agreed!

The kids were so excited when we found out we could have it! This is the living room. FIreplace and great big picture window.

This is the dining room...something that is fun is there are two screen doors that lead to the back yard.

Cute little bathroom. Parts of this house reminds me of some of the homes I grew up in.

Deveraux and Anderson's room (and guests when they come)

Our room

Kitchen..some fun tile colors like green...

The three times we have visited our future home, the kids just run around non stop, I think they find freedom after being in a hotel for awhile...they are claiming their space. I have great visions for an outdoor space...so make a plan to come for dinner!

I write the title to the blog, Our new home, and I think, really? Yes, we have a home. Tomorrow, hopefully, I will sign the lease and we will begin anew. God is good and He is faithful and He provided again, why do I doubt. Maybe because I never know the "package" it will come in, there are no guarantees of how it will look, only that God is good, which is enough.

I heard a sermon on Psalm 23, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." We say, "if only..." this could happen or "if only" this relationship were different. I believe God is my shepherd but I still want or believe I "need" certain things. I hope I will grow in this area.

Thank you all for such love, prayer, and support in the endeavor of finding a home. We are grateful.

Oh, also, this house is only about a block from where we originally looked at a home when we were here in June which was my first impression and what I had in my mind of life in Carmel.
