Dear friends, can we ask you to please uphold us in prayer during the next few weeks? we have just over 2 weeks to get packing completed, our mobile home torn down(which shouldn't be too hard, as it's literally falling apart ), some joists repaired, and the subfloor on, before the framers come in the to put up the frame of the house. Please pray for peace in relationships, the grace to give our kids and our business what they need, wisdom in building, and safety from all injuries for all working on the house.

We VERY MUCH appreciate any and all prayers!

St. Vincent Ferrer, please pray for us!

St. Joseph, Carpenter and provider for the Holy Family, please pray for us!

Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, please pray for us!

Jesus, Lover of the Little Children, please pray for us and our Little Ones while we're so busy!

All you holy saints, please pray for us!


*************************************************

Update 7/14:

Everything's going pretty well so far. I can truly feel all the prayers upholding us, as the long days, heavy work, and time crunch would be really taking us under if we didn't have such support! We have moved a TON of stuff downstairs, gotten kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, etc. all installed int the last few days, and have started the tear down. Incredible! Continued prayers are SO VERY appreciated!

Mary, Help of Christians, please pray for us!

Mother of Divine Providence, please pray for us!

Well... it's going alright. Incredibly busy trying to keep up with what needs to be done to move down stairs, as well as get to tearing this place down, and just the everyday needs of the family.

But, God is so incredibly good to us, and provides for us so amazingly, we know we need to just trust Him for each and every day. EVERY time we turn around he is helping us save a ton of $$$ on all that's needed to build a new house. We just keep praying we can come in at budget, as there is SO MUCH in building a house, the little things you never thought of that have to be purchased!

Our biggest problem is trying to keep from loosing belongings and project materials to the torrential rains were getting here this year. Last year it was a drought, this year, rain, rain, rain. but, dh and I discussed this morning, God always provides, and if we keep our cool throughout it all, praise Him for all He's doing, and let go and let God, it will all be o.k.!

Glad you're able to keep swimmingly along in the rain.    I know how exciting something like this can be and also how much gut-wrenching anxiety it can also cause so peace and wisdom as you continue on.

At the moment it can be hard to see the exciting part, but there are tiny glimpses of it, like when we have a huge delivery of stuff like trusses and windows, etc. It makes the reality of the soon to be house so real. But, right now the work is so almost overwhelming, and the basement is SO HOT, in spite of central air, because it's covered in black plastic to protect from the rain, as we can't use clear plastic because it breaks down and disintegrates in direct sun. The kids are miraculously holding up pretty well, poor baby is teething, getting her molars in early.

Dh and dc worked incredibly hard and cleared out the whole rest of the house, pretty much, while I was getting groceries yesterday, so he could start tearing down in earnest, as we have rains coming! The tear down is quite incredible. He hooks a strap up to the tractor and pulls the walls out. It's quite the site to see! Praise God, it's going much easier than we expected.

The children were able to have a much needed fun time in the afternoon with waterplay with awesome water syringes from the Dollar Tree, suggested, much to their delight, by their dear grandmother.

I know your prayers are keeping us afloat, and we so very much appreciate them! May God reward you for your generosity in prayers!

The house is now up, and almost completely water proof!!!!!!!                                         

The guys got the house up and wrapped and windows and doors in in 4 days! We have been so pleased with their work, and grateful for their positive attitudes and lack of moral issues to worry about. They are a Catholic family run business, and we are so glad to have been able to hire them to frame the house.

Monday evening was the only time rain got into the basement living space. It was not fun, but it definitely could have been worse as far as damage, length of rain, etc. We are so very grateful for all the prayers!!!!

The children are excited to see the new house, and take the tour, and get a more real idea of where everything will be, etc. It was nice to take the week somewhat off while others did the framing. And it's very exciting to see the house becoming more and more of a reality!
