HOMESTEADING ◽ HOME
This year of 2025 has started out a little more chaotic than I had hoped for!
We started the holidays off with some sick kiddos, tried to partially move into our home that is just not quite finished - so it’s been slightly difficult. And my husband just lost his contract with the gig he’s been on for almost seven years!
In one thought I am overwhelmed by God’s goodness with this beautiful home we finally get to have after eight years in a trailer. Then in the next moment, I’m overwhelmed by the burden of my husband trying to find a new contract as soon as possible, to pay for this amazing home! I am literally giggling with joy; then on my knees crying in desperation. I do not like this emotional roller coaster! Many verses come to my mind, and fasting and praying have been daily for me…
“Every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord…”
James 1:17
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow will be anxious about itself.”
Matthew 6:34
I was seriously about to buy a house full of furniture because at the moment we only have mattresses and bar stools for the island, nothing else! I held off one more night before I clicked “buy” and we got the news that my husband’s job had ended. It was a blessing in disguise that I did not buy all of that! But totally heartbreaking at the same time, as we were getting ready to just live in a normal house with basic furniture needs that we had to put on pause. I had never been so frustrated and excited all in the same moment.
I have no idea what God has planned but He knew this would happen at this exact moment and knows what we need and what we need to do. Now for us to figure out what that is! And we hope to do so in a hurry, because these house bills are hitting quickly!
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lords purpose that prevails.”
Proverbs 19:21
