Its Official. We are HOMEOWNERS!! As of this morning, Matt and I signed the papers, got the keys, and made our way to our new home!! And, I cannot not begin to describe how excited I am. This process of getting a home was not an easy journey; however, when the Lord is for us who can be against us.
I can honestly say that I dreamed of writing this post for a long time. You see, the idea of owning a home was indeed only an "idea" until earlier this year. I did not think we would buy this soon; however, last year the Lord began impressing on my heart the idea of home ownership. Yet, with a few things that I have experienced in my past, I did not think it was possible. HOWEVER..........the Lord is God of restoration. Over the past 10 years, I have experienced some really low points in life, and after not knowing where to turn, I ran to the Lord. I ran like never before!! I released any shame and failures I had been confronted with, and began to walk in trust that this day would come. I prayed with the power of the Holy Spirit that the Lord would restore my life, and with each passing day, more and more peace was restored. I found myself not only in an amazing, restored relationship with the Lord, I also found myself blessed with an incredible marriage, and surrounded with the love of many friends. I also learned that no matter what happens in life, that my parents are my rock, and love me more than words can express.
So, today is a day of CELEBRATION. A day of enjoying what the Lord Has Done, a day of Praise and Restoration. May He receive all the Glory.
Have a blessed Monday friends!!
