A year ago we felt led to move our family to a rented house in the country and put our house in town on the market. We got a lot of painting done but were unsure what to do with the very old and ugly brown carpeting - or whether to leave it as it was and let the new owners do what they liked. Our finances made the decision for us, and we left it alone. LOL. Then we waited and watched and wondered why God didn't sell our house. Every time I began to question whether we were in God's will to move, He brought to my mind that old veggie tales song... "The Lord has given this land to us. No need to fuss. He knows what He's doing. We know that He will take care of us, if we will follow Him." Kind of cool, huh? We got part of an answer in September when family needed a place to live for a while and God allowed us to bless them in that way. They were able to stay until God opened a door for them to something even better. And God got us through to another tax return so that we could address the issue of that (let's face it, it really is) ugly floor. ;) We found the perfect wood laminate flooring on sale and tiles for the front porch. And it is turning out so nice! LIVINGROOM BEFORE:

OFFICE BEFORE:  (didn't have a picture of the inside before as it was still full of stuff - suffice it to say old floor was those ugly industrial tiles. :)

Also, we now have someone who may be interested in our house - at least it's the first person who has come to see it more than once - actually 3 times, each time bringing more of her family along to see what they think. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high - but I told my children last year that all I wanted for my birthday was a closing date on our house. Maybe I'll get it for my birthday this year. :) :) |
