Back in May, I was praying and praying for a solution to the problem of not having an adequate space for my office and craft things.  For years I had my computer in our bedroom, but then my husband took a 3rd shift job and I had to move the computer out so he could sleep during the day and since I work from home on my computer during "daylight" hours, I had to have access to my computer.  So, to the living room I went.  My living room and dining room and kitchen are all connected, but each room is small, and though I managed it for 2 years, it was just becoming increasingly difficult to function in grand central station. 

After much prayer, I decided to move the computer back to the bedroom and ask my husband to build me some sort of screen to block the light and muffle the noise so he could still sleep.  He didn't like that idea at all and asked me to let him think on it.  About 30 minutes later, he came to me and said, "Let's go out to the shop."  Now that was a surprise as the shop is "his"domain.  Though he only uses it on a rare occasion, he had always shot that idea down when I had mentioned anything about utilizing some of that space for myself before.

Well, as soon as he decided to let me have a "corner" of the room, I made him measure it out immediately and that very afternoon we made a trip to the lumber yard to buy materials.  So, after about a month of working on it, I moved into my new office/craft room a week ago.  It is so quiet out here I can actually hear myself thinking.  And my mother-in-law blessed me with an early b-day present - an A/C unit for my office.  So, now I can enjoy the quiet and be cool at the same time! 

So, even in the midst of trying times, God loves to bless His people and I just wanted to share one of the ways He has blessed me recently. 

 If I could figure out how to share pics on my blog, I would send pics of my new office.  Any hints???
