Greetings My Friend,
As I write this tomorrow the appraiser is coming by to appraise our home, that we are seeking to get a refinance on. Today we are finishing up the cleaning as we were instructed to do by God a couple of months ago when He told us to get the house curb pretty. Junior has touched up the paint on the front of the house, hauled boards away from the out building next to the house and the both of us has gone through the yard picking up debris, moving ladders, tools etc. that was laying about the yard and up against the house. I have prayed asking God to guide me/us as we work inside and outside the house and now I have been praying for His will. It was strange when we received not one but several calls all on the same day asking us to refinance with various mortgage companies. My hopes were building up again so I took this to prayer teaching myself to add in "In Your will." God's "no" is sometimes wait or it is the request is not for our good. I had sensed that God was going to give us a contractor who would work with us on the construction of the house, then when Lowe's turned us down, I was crushed. After that Junior felt God wanted him to clean up the yard, make it curb ready, pretty, so we have been working hard at doing just that. We felt the lesson to slow down, reconnect most nights over a fire was a lesson on coming together as a couple more. We have taken to this instruction and have enjoyed it beyond measure. My prayers are now asking for God's will in regards to obtaining the mortgage. Junior has asked for a VA loan so that he gets a list of things he needs to do so he had something to work towards in getting our home up to snuff. He has also asked for enough to pay off the mortgage at the bank where it is now, and give us some more funds to pay off some debt we have such as our truck and van. I see that we are working toward becoming debt free and that encourages me. Knowing that we have had "no's" I keep asking God for His will not my will, which is helping me not build up hope that may not come. I know God wants our best so I am working toward accepting the answer He gives us. The process has helped me be able to get out and around our property which I have not done. The porch has been kept fairly cleaned up so that the walker is able to move about easily and I am able to enjoy the peace of the beauty that surrounds us. I know at the end of the day, I will be okay with God's answer and His love as He walks beside us. We also learn to "hear" God, to wait for Him and then to move in His direction. The end of the world is coming, today, tomorrow or some day in the future, all I know is I am trying to watch for God's direction in my day to day life so that if the end comes in my lifetime I will know how to hear God's voice call me to Him. May God bless you and keep you, make His face shine on you. Love Janet
