New home and weather ?!

I need to update my picture of the new home but right now I can't even walk across the field to get to it. We, in Oklahoma, had a blizzard blow in on Monday night and it was reported that we got 10+ inches of snow. We have our siding up, the roof is on, thankfully, the insulation is partially done and we cannot get out of our old house to do much of anything. It has been WAY cold and I hate it for our dogs that don't like burying themselves to go outside to do their "business". I tried to dig them a path but was poorly equipped to do so, yuck. Even Church was cancelled this evening but that was a good thing because there isn't any reason to take any chances on anyone's safety.
God will take care of us and I'm glad He's in charge.

Our New Home

The above is the dirt pad where our pad will be poured, the man is my sweet husband, Scott walking around in what we think is the living room.

The above is our new driveway which will be asphalted or concreted sometime.

Golly. I'm ashamed of myself for taking such a long time to post anything on my blog. It has been kind of a silent time before a few weeks ago. We have been planning a new home since Ochtober of 2008 and finally, last month, we got the call we had been awaiting ~ we started our home. So far we have a driveway and the dirt pad for our home. In the next couple of weeks they will dig and pour the footings, then the slab and shortly thereafter, they (the builder and his crew) will start framing our home. I am simply beside myself and scarcely know what to think or do, this is just so perfect. God has blessed us so much. I am going to try to put some pictures on this blog and hope that they come through, I'm new at this so please be patient. God bless you.

Frustrations!!!

I don't yet have a new home started but feel as though it is very near ~ I hope so anyway. I am going crazy with this waiting. I question the variety of excuses handed me by a loan officer at a local bank that KNOWS our entire portfolio, has assured me we are approved for all we need and/or want financially and still yet, we are not yet commenced.
Thankfully, I have a dear friend who is saving my life by taking me out of the area for an extended vacation up east, I wonder if I want to return?!
I am so thankful for all I have and I thank God for my blessings. I will remain strong, no matter what. We have altered our thoughts, plans, dreams and ideas and just yesterday, I determined that we will stay strong in what we want and it will be done!!!! Whomever may read this ~ please help us pray for all to be done and quickly. We wrote our original contract in October of 2008 and this is getting silly now. If I were a bank and looked at what I was causing for anyone, all the strife the bank is putting a person through would be tantamount to unforgivable. Luckily, I know forgiveness but not necessarily forgetfullness.

Mother's Day

For all of the wonderful Mother's in my life, Thank You God~! I am so blessed to know so many and have had two. I was born of the body of one and the heart of another, both loved me and I love them both. God knew that it would take more than one to raise this child and here I am now, His child in heart and spirit.

Life is GOOD!!!!! Thank you God!

Life is truly good. I cannot express in any words I know just how to communicate this to you my friends. Just about a year and a half ago, I returned to the Church of my raising and every since ~ my life has taken a definite turn for the better ~ may I say best?!
For nearly two years now, we have wanted to build a new home. We found plans, had them drawn up, we have a builder, plans, appliances, even some brand new furnishings and it looked so grim for a bit. After practicing my lessons in prayer and reading my Bible and loving the Lord with all of my heart and devoting my life to Him, I knew that there was a plan in motion.
I have so much to be thankful for and tell God so very often. I thought maybe I was being selfish and asking for more than I was due and prayed for forgiveness for my greed and to please just guide me.
On Tuesday, May 4th, 2010, we found out that our loan is approved, phoned our builder and it looks as though that in the next month or just a little longer ~ we will break ground. It is so true that God answers our prayers ~ it is actually very simple.
Love the Lord with our hearts, be sincere and believe in His greatness, ask and ye shall receive. It hasn't always seemed so simple but neither have I ever dedicated my life so fully to Him. I am His child and He is my Father, greater than any other Father we have ever known. He loves us and created us and wants only the very best for us.
As this project proceeds, I will add pictures and share this journey with anyone and everyone that is interested.
I am so thankful and pray that I am always as blessed and deserving as now.
I love you God.

Bog koham Polska i tak mam!

What I said above is that "God loves Poland and so do I". I haven't said much about the Mission Trip to Poland. I have been selfish and keeping all the joy to myself, well except in person. It was the most profound experience that I have ever been a part of. I loved each and every moment of it. I have heard some kind of funny comments from other members of the team and love hearing what they have to say about the experience. It was so wonderful to meet the "Northeast Poland Mission Team" and be able to share the joy and love they give so freely. I want to return to Poland, hopefully next year when the Poland Mission Trip comes up again. It was more "life changing" than I can put into words. I came home with a new attitude of greater love and peace than I have ever known. I saw such love that I have ever seen before and I thank God that I had this opportunity. I will try to add some more of the pictures at a later date and go into more detail.
