Praise God! I feel like we have reached "the promised land." Last Thanksgiving, we were able to move into our home and have our first house guest. While it has taken a while to even begin to feel settled after a two year period of upheaval, I finally feel life settling, relaxing, becoming comfortable again.
Over the past few months, I have known the joy of using our house as we hoped we could. We've welcomed guests into our home to experience country life and relaxation; we've hosted a college reunion where friends could hike and play; we've had family gatherings where everyone ate their fill, visited, and went fishing; we've used it for our day to day life of working from home and homeschooling; and we've even been blessed with the ability to have a weekly Bible study here.
During the building process, we realized this is God's house - no, I don't mean like a church but rather, everything we do, everything we have is for Him and should be used for His glory. We prayed that God would be able to use our home in a mighty way and that other would be able to come to know God better somehow through our home. It has been a blessing, in just the short time we've been here, to see everything coming together for His good. We look forward to seeing how He will use this home in the future.
In Dallas, we realized that our home could be used for God's glory, even when we lived a small house not "designed for entertaining." You can use your home - whether it be a dorm room, apartment, small house, mansion, etc. - for showing God's love to others. Pray how God can use your home to be a blessing to others.
