Random Thoughts

When we started building our house that we live in now, it rained for an entire month straight! No kidding, it rained the entire month of June, which is not good when you're in the framing stages of building a house!

Well, now that we've put our house up for sale, it's been raining non-stop. We did get a break for the 4th of July (Yay!), but it rained all last week and all this week so far. First it was Hurricane Alex and now there are some more storms forming in the Gulf, I hear.

I'm not trying to complain, it's just so weird! So, we haven't had one single person come look at our house yet. I know it's only been a week.......I am getting a lesson in patience.

I've been hooked on watching these House Hunters shows late at night and any other home decorating or For Sale shows. I found some fun blogs and other websites too that have really neat decorating ideas for girls' rooms. We never painted the walls in this house (they're all still "simplify beige"), because I think we always knew we would move one day, so the girls are looking forward to having their rooms painted and decorated. If we don't end up moving, then I'll break down and paint their rooms here.

I'm over half-way done with "Breaking Free" by Beth Moore. It is really making me think and I love that! Here's a few really great things to think about that are quotes from her book:

"The enemy's hope for Christians is that we will either be so ineffective we have no testimony, or we'll ruin the one we have." She was talking here about how Satan cannot keep us from salvation, but he tries to break us down so that we will not lead others to Christ.

"God surpasses our dreams when we reach past our personal plans and agendas to grab the hand of Christ and walk the path He has chosen for us. He is obligated to keep us dissatisfied until we come to Him and His plan for complete satisfaction." I love that! I want nothing more than to grab His hand and see where that path leads!!
