New House

I would love for this post to be all about our plans to build a new house..........but it's not. As you all know, I would love to build a house, and I dwell on it WAAAAY TOO MUCH! I have even created a "House" folder with ideas I want to keep in mind for my new house. But at this point in our lives we don't believe it is God's will (no matter how much I have prayed for Him to show us He has changed His mind) for us to build a house...yet. So for now, I am praying that God will give me a peace that I may find joy in the little house on the hill he has blessed us with (I will still be dreaming of my new home though, I am sure...just maybe not so often). As the saying goes "loves grows best in little houses" right??? I am trying to remind myself of that but it is just a little hard to swallow sometimes when we are all packed in here and getting on each others nerves, wishing we had more room to spread out to play, or hide for a Pepsi and chocolate break without sharing...whichever the case maybe. So I have decided I am going to try to make this house a little more bearable-I am going to try to downsize everything! clean out closets, clean out cabinets, clean out toy boxes...deciding what to keep, what to sell (per Dave Ramsey), what to donate and what to toss! I hope to start on my new mission this week! I will try to keep you posted on how my progess is coming.
