The House Journey

Hello friends! To your surprise, this blog is not coming from Adrienne today, but from her husband, Kevin! We originally planned on doing this blog together, but I dropped the ball and so far it's just been her.. Anyhow, I'm excited to make my first post on here. A great mile marker happened in our home renovating project last month. I finally finished the spare bedroom, pretty much completing the main level of our house! Now all that's left is the basement. It's crazy to look a year back and see how far we've come. Not only with renovating, but with changes in life. When we first moved in here, things in life, including this house, had Adrienne and I at odds. It was a dark time with many struggles. "This house is from the devil!" I said, demanding that we just finish the renovating and move out asap. In recent months, not only has God proved that this house is not "from the devil", but in fact that this is God's house. This has become a place of community, a meeting place for prayer, a space with all kinds of possibilities to seek and live into His kingdom. This may not be where we saw ourselves a year ago, and who knows how long we'll be here, but it's where God has us right now, and it's been a great journey. Here's a couple before and after pics of the spare bedroom.
No more popcorn ceiling! Thank goodness. If you are going through some hard times, ask God for help, call on Him, wait on Him, get into the word, He is there and He will work in amazing ways in your life. He can turn around any situation to work for His good. Thanks for reading!
