Wow.
The last two days have been unbelievably CRAZY! Extreme home makeover is looking for a St Joseph Area family! Soooooo people have been telling my family we should apply. My mom e-mailed our families story to them on wed. at 4:00 pm and by 5:30 pm WE GOT A CALL FROM EXTREME HOME MAKEOVER say that we need to fill out the (long) 19 page application and make a home video of a tour of the house along with pictures of the house. That is a lot to do in 24 hours!
It is very preliminary. VERY VERY preliminary actually. It is just the normal application like anyone else has turned in. But it is still very exciting. Its one of those things where you think "That kinda of stuff doesn't happen to me.." BUT all we can do is wait on the Lord. Wait for HIS plan. Because no matter what His plan is, it will always be better than ours no matter what we might think.
While previewing the video that we made before we sent it to them today my family laughed SO much. And the best part was that we were laughing at ourselves! When we would get tongue twisted or couldn't think of a word (I couldn't think of the word "fireman..." haha).
Anyway, right now we are just waiting on the Lord to see if this is His plan for our family's lives. If this is what is best for us. Best for the camp. Best for HIS glory.
My mom said the other day "Some trust in chariots, some trust in horses, some trust in extreme home makeover, but we trust in the name of the LORD our GOD!" How true is that? So... I am working on trusting in God on this. Just waiting on Him.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart. Lean not on your own understandings but in ALL your ways acknowledge HIM and HE WILL make your path straight.
In HIS everlasting arms,
Faith
Faith - this is exciting! I'm going to be Praying about this - What a difference this could make in the lives of so many! I think about all the sweat and hard work people from all over have put into this wonderful place called God's Mountain - all because of love of our Heavenly Father - I hope you will keep us all posted on the events - This is one show our family loves to watch - and how neat it would be to actually KNOW someone that this might happen to!!! WOW - fun!!!! So, I'm trusting along with your entire family /friend base that God knows what the plans are for God's mountain, and in HIM we will TRUST! and wait!
