He says over and over again to just trust Him, that is what I am doing, and He has been quietly talking me through this thing and building my faith as the days pass:>) It is not me...I would fall apart in a minute LOL! I have made the decision to just not worry about it, and He is taking care of the rest of it.
Went by the property yesterday to thank the builder for doing all this, he sure doesn't have to...and he simply said "Ah, when you own a bussiness like this you can have certain flexibilities...and I need a home to show potential clients anyway:>)" Such a wonderful man!

Oh ya...AND guess what...beside the lot that we purchased is another lot but because it is a real humdinger of a cliff it will cost alot to get ready to build on so the builder tells me that it will probably stay wooded and empty for a long long time:>) Whoo-hoo! Country living in town it really is. I am so in love with the whole idea it's uncanny...and it seems like God has chosen that particular spot just for us! We will really only have one immediate neighbor there and they are moving from the country as well and have a son the same age as ours into the same things...

Morel, I truly believe this is how God builds our faith and dependence upon Him...by allowing things in our life that require a leap of faith. Be it family problems, health problems, financial problems....they all are stressful and can be life changing if one does not develop an attitude of faith that God is in control, I am not, and thus, it WILL turn out okay in the end. No matter what!

This has certainly been that kind of year for you and you are doing just wonderful with your faith! Doesn't it give you so much peace to be able to lean on that truth? I does me! :)

The property sounds great and also sounds like it was meant just for you and your purpose. How cool is that?? :D

Here's some pics...although this *may not* be our build...I didn't want to miss out on all the pictures I wanted to take if it actually is, so this is it:>)

View we will have from our living room window eventually.

The backyard...these rocks will look amazing after a pressure wash and clean up and the rock gardens I plan to add

This is not actually our house, but it the same house we are building, except we are putting a different finish on the exterior to make it look alot different than the rest of the neighboring homes.

BIG! :th

Will you have wood heat? Are you moving where you won't be allowed to have chickens in your yard? Any room for a small garden? :)

Hey Ya'll! Bee emailed me asking where I've been....it's nice to know I'm missed...I love you Bee! Have I ever told you that before?? :hugs

Things have been both very busy and very boring for me lately. We sold our house on the lake and have been out of there since mid November. We're curently renting a cottage in town...well kind of in town:>) Our house is a work in progress..it is coming along but we are not taking over it until late Jan or early Feb. Building is slow and tediuos in the winter.

My wonderful daughter has met a Christian guy...well, rediscovered him might be a better term. He actually grew up down the road from us and they knew each other as kids. They had a whirlwind courtship and have plans to get married at his parent s farm in July of nest year! He is wonderful to her and the baby and the fact that we know his family and where he comes from is comforting...exactly what I have been praying for for her... they have been coming to church on Sundays! I have been walking on clouds of Blessings the last few months! And my grandbaby couldn't be a more perfect child! She is wonderful and Nana gets to spend alot of time with her...I can go get her and keep her for a couple of days whenever I want! It is fantastic.

Hope all of you are well...Merry Christmas to you all! And may 2010 be filled with may Blessings!

Wonderful news about your DD...I know that you have had worries about her.

It is so hard sometimes to just give things up to God to work out but He always does come thru somehow!

Hey you! Been thinking about you too. We might be heading up to your neck of the woods sometime this winter. Our friend bought a cottage in Thessalon, and we're gonna be going up with them. Unfortunately we are going through state side through the Sault. How far is Thessalon from you?
