Monday May 1--Exciting day!

When A&K moved in, we knew that we'd need another bathroom at some point.  We weren't sure how we'd accomplish that, but we knew that 1 bathroom for 7 people would only work for so long.  We started praying right away about how to make that happen.  One at a time, promises of money to help with this (from various insurance settlements) fell through.  But we were certain of God's provision & His faithfulness and knew we'd just have to wait & see how He worked things out.  (You were so right about that Melynda!)
 
One by one, donations of products, labor & work came in.  To date, C. Woods has donated the plumbing, DayStar has donated the electrical work, a friend at church has donated the concrete work.  What started out as a $15,000 room addition has quickly whittled its way down to something do-able!  Today we got the loan for the remaining cost & had a representative from the plumbing company here to measure off things for their work.  A good friend from church does remodel work & has drawn up a floor plan for us.  (If you want to see it, email me....I'm excited to show off the plans!  THANK YOU DON!!!)  We're so excited to see this moving forward!
 
We realize that even with adding this bathroom/enlarging the laundry area, we will still outgrow this house in a few more years, but in the meantime it sure will make living here nicer!  God is good!

PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD! PRAISE GOD!  I'm in tears reading this just marveling at God's goodness.  I still have that washer waiting for you. :)  Email me the plans, I'd love to see them.
