Bless Leon's Family in Finishing Their Home

This beautiful old house, our new home which God blessed us with exactly on time, as is His way, has also been plenty of work, as many of you know. We are now down to the wire for finishing the biggest things for appraisal. Leon has been working full time the ENTIRE time, may the Lord bless his obedience, but the truth is that we're the lowest on funds we've been since our family was young and surviving on kitchen wages. We have faithfully put all our money into making this home what it has the potential to be, for our family.

Our appraisal is in LESS THAN A MONTH and the closing date is December 12th. We still need to fix the front steps, finish the kitchen (which is a big task) , finish repairing the upstairs hallway (also not a small task), and a few last things. We have poured into this in every sense.

We fully believe in working for what you have, and believe me when I say we are all working hard, but we also believe that the times we're living in are unlike others we have seen. The pressure we are feeling isn't from lack of work ethic or poor life management, but rather an orchestrated effort to crush the entire middle.

We have always put God's design first, even before we were saved. We let Him decide the timing of our children's arrivals. He has rewarded us by providing housing arrangements smoothly, we have never been in a panic over housing, God has "sent His people" every time. And the same is true of this house more than any other situation yet.

Blessing us ALSO blesses the woman who is selling us her house, and undoubtedly also her family members she is living with in Massachusetts. I know this because though we've never met in the flesh, Leon has known her family, which exudes the love and light of Christ, as does our seller. Our phone conversations have nourished me. She is a true woman of God, and it would be so wonderful to be able to make this an extra blessing for HER as well. Her obedience to the Lord has changed our lives and our children's lives in a way I don't think she understands. ✨

So this is why, for our holiday season this year we humbly ask that if you feel lead in the Spirit to gift us, we could REALLY use help lifting up this major life event and getting it over the finish line! You may also share our little story with other Believers and folks with a heart for helping. Our home has become a cornerstone of our story of Faith, and we praise Jesus for it every day!

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I pray that our Heavenly Father covers and keeps you all, and brings you His peace, joy, and freedom. Amen.
