~ Pictures and updates on the " House that God Built" ~

I wanted to give you a small tour of our house as of thus far.  Here my 4ds and I are standing infrount of our windows to our learning room at the basement level.


Here is my kitchen to be

My Living Room



My Bathroom to the right and the Master Bedroom to the left

My Bedroom to the left

Our View from our Living Room.  So to help you understand we have Mountains  ALL around us. We live in a valley. Our House is up on a mountain.



Here is 4ds and I at the wood delivery truck.

I am so excited in all this but along with the good comes the challanges.  Our neighbor that we are so challanged with the water  now  we are  going to have another issue to solve.  I just found out yesterday that we will have to also get a easement for the electric poll b/c the poll is on his property.  So we are now in the process of dealing with this issue.  If you are willing , I would appreciate any prayers lifted up.  I am not good with conflict and it takes a big toll on me.  Thank you (0:  God Bless.In Him,

You are definitely blessed with spectacular views from every single room!!! WOW!

Praying for these issues... I don't do well with conflict either. I tend to relive it over and over again in my mind...for like, years! SO that is precisely why my dh handles most things like that. He just deals with it and moves on to the next task at hand. :-)

Love,
Marsha

Thank you SO much for giving us this incredible update. I have to pray, pray, pray that I will not covet that view!! =) You're definitely making progress. I'll pray it's dried in before the first snow. I'll also pray about the easement situation. The Lord has brought you this far, He'll be faithful to the end.

With love and prayers, Angela

Hi CanadaGirl
Wow......the pics are great! Photobucket should have a facility where you can chose to grab the html of a large, medium or small pic. You then chose what you want.In Flickr I chose the medium size.
So glad i can put pen to face !!!!!!! Nice to meet you eventually!TeeHee

Sep. 21, 2006 - I love the pics, and that view...

Posted by ThreeLittleLadies
Wow what a gorgeous view!

I pray that God would show you His faithfulness in the little things so that after this is over, things like the problems that are surfacing in the building of this house would seem in the future like faith adventures rather than attacks on you. Remember God is faithful!!! He loves you and this is His house. Rest in Him.

It must be fun to see the house go up, and think of how you want it to be. I trust the difficulties will work out--and so will a stretching of your faith. Keep on trusting that God is in control of the building of this house, and learn what He would have you to know.

Easier to say than do, I am sure.

Blessings,
Karen

Your house is going to be beautiful when it's done. I, too, will pray that this conflice will be short and come to an amicable end.

Wow! How exciting for you! And I can imagine that picking colors would be really exciting, and probably overwhelming too.
Good job on your template!

How exciting. But I could see where it can be stressful as well.
Will keep you and your family in prayer.
