house, yard, book recomendation and school

Well here is my house under construction. This will be my own private quarters. It will give me my own bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen area. I am very excited but progress is slow. The Lord has provided me with a used air conditioner/Heat unit. That will save a lot of money. I give Him the glory. I know that I need to be patient and trust Him to meet the needs to finish it. It will all be done in His perfect time.

In the meantime I continue to work on curb appeal. I love spending time in the gardens. I am always adding knew flower beds. Jody and I even put in a tiny vegetable garden. We put in some bell peppers, green onions and cherry tomatoes. It does mean I am watering almost every day and always pulling weeds. When I look and see the beautiful flowers blooming it makes it all worth while.

I also read a new book this week I listed it in my book shelf but the cover is different than the one I have. This is an awesome story. I wish that every young person would read this and every single person, as far as that goes It would give anyone a lot of encouragement in just making a total commitment to God in all areas of our lives. If we would forget about trying to run our lives our way and seek God He would lead and direct us and life would be so much richer. I guess the hardest thing in this world for us is to surrender complete control of our lives to God. To totally trust Him to know what is best and except His will for our lives but that is what He wants form us. Complete and total surrender. He has so much more for us than we can ever imagine for ourselves. If you would like a better understanding of that the 2 young people in this book are excellent examples. This is a true and amazing story of what God will do if we will only trust Him and obey Him. Wait upon the Lord and He will renew your strength! Praise God.

I also finished my summer classes I think I passed but I haven't gotten my grades yet. I signed up for 2 more administrative web classes for fall. I hope and pray I will be able to complete them since I will have to be looking for full time work in the very near future. I know the Lord will provide and see me through. I just want to follow Him.
