The New House: Phase 3 Continued...

The concrete is now poured and set. The boards are laying near the street ready for the workers to attach them to the foundation next week. We are getting so excited to see the house starting to form. We can see the shape of the house (though at times it looks super small) and are imagining where everything is going to go. Chris is planning out the backyard and the sprinkler system, where his putting green is going to go and what trees we are going to plant. I can't wait to meet with the builder and make the final decisions on flooring colors, cabinets, counter tops, though all that is still quite a ways off still.

Center post in garage where the 2 garage doors meet.

Standing in the laundry room looking into the family room/kitchen/master bed/bathroom. Looks small huh?

Front porch area looking at the 2 extra bedrooms.

Living room and kitchen area.

The first boards are there waiting to be put up.

The night that the foundation was poured Chris went over and carved in to the center beam concrete and the conrete just below the front door "1 Cor. 3:11-15" which reads:

"For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one's work will become clear, for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire."

We pray that when "the Day" comes for our work to be judged that we will endure the fire. We pray for God's blessings over our new house and our life that we will build on His foundation, Jesus Christ. That we will be used for His purpose and will.
