We received WONDERFUL news today from our flooring helper. We have been officially declared as having NOT 800 square feet but 971 sq. feet !!!! Hallelujah!!! That's 171 sq. ft. more than we were preparing for. God is so good ! I have to say that I told David that I was going to title this weeks entry as "Scattered and Smothered" because we are becoming very (to much so) accustom to the whole living behind the Waffle House thing. They ( the WH employees) are incredibly gracious and have allowed all 8 of us and whoever is around being busy to use their restrooms, we give directions using their name and have gotten to meet some wonderful employees and customers of theirs. Therefore, scattered and smothered came into my mind as I thought about what God is doing with our casa (house). We are a bit "scattered" in ourselves and our own efforts to pull all of what we are doing off and are starting to see so clearly how "smothered " we are in God's love and grace. We continue to learn and see that we are not to wish these days away but to discover the onions, mushrooms, peppers and even the cheese that God is gracing us with. They are appearing in our lives looking like free lights, donated flooring and doors , donated windows, labor, and an entire family that came and painted the inside of our home for us... The dad took 2 days off of his job to do this for us and the have 7 children !!! What gracious love we are seeing!
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:4
Having a lovely brown and yellow day, (WH colors)
