When we put down the deposit on this house, we sent out a list of things we'd need for our home in hopes someone out there might have a few things they could donate and we wouldn't have to try to figure out how to furnish our entire house all at once. Deposits (including utility) and rent pretty much sucked our bank account dry. Living with parents for so long, we didn't have much of our own stuff.
I'm writing today with
great amazing news! Today was the day the final item on our list was delivered/donated to us. I am so humbled and blessed to know so many great people who have stepped up to donate items for our home. God went above and beyond what we asked for. We went from sleeping on a sofa bed to owning a king size bed! We received a washer and dryer. We even received a refrigerator! God had people constantly coming to us offering us things they no longer needed and we ended up with a few things not even on our list. We even had to turn down some things because we already had them or we didn't have room for them.
We are literally living in the house that love built. Almost everything in our home came from others. I think that's the best part about living here - looking around we're reminded of so many people who love and care for us.
Today I put up one of those sticky wall thingies. Basically you peel the back off, stick it to the wall and then try to peel the backing off while getting the lettering to stick to the wall. Ours says, "
All I have needed, Thy Hand hath Provided, Great is Thy Faithfulness Lord unto Me." It's so true and will always be a reminder of how faithful God has been to us.
