September 4, 2005


Sunday here. We stayed home from church and held services here early so Shawn could go to the auction. Yesterday Shawn was there and bought a front door and back door for the house. Both brand new and at less than half the price at a lumber yard the day was well spent. The front door is steel with raised panels, at the top is a half-circle window. I love it! The back door existed only in my dreams until yesterday. It is a large double French door! Now, when we walk into the front door, we will be able to see out into the back yard and have an unobstructed view of the back pasture! I am so blessed... I wanted one of these doors SO badly but didn't even dream we could afford one. We bought it for less than half the price at a lumber yard. Both doors are brand-new, tags and stickers still attached. :o) Also, he bought a stack of 25, 14ft. long 2x10's for the floor joists at less than half price as well.

The original plan for yesterday went awry but it has turned out to be a blessing. Shawn had reserved a power auger for digging the holes for the piers. When he went to pick it up Friday night after work they had rented it out to someone else by accident. So he came home rather dejected seeing that we had planned to drill the holes yesterday. It being a holiday weekend everyone else in town had their rented out. With that plan stopped cold he went on to the auction and was able to purchase the doors and lumber at a drastic savings. God is faithful and again, we have proof that:

And we know that all things work together
for good to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his purpose.
-Romans 8:28

I pray we remember this the next time something goes "wrong".
