Build Us A House Oh God

Psalm 127:1

¹ Unless the LORD builds the house,

They labor in vain who build it;

Well this week has been filled with lots of work on the house. We had originally planned on being in here a week ago. Whenever we would fix one thing three more things would need repair.The tools and supplies are a little hard to come by and the quality, well lets just say I am very thankful that we have and very thankful that it is ready for us to occupy.

We began the week by working on getting power into the house, then we were working on water issues. We had to replace two pumps for the cistern.

We replaced 10 light fixtures throughout the house. The toilet didn't work, so we fixed that. We had to install a sink in the bathroom.

We cleaned out the water tank on the roof , added new pipe for the additional pump, Installed eight batteries, a power inverter, a gas tank, a stove, a refrigerator, and replaced a wax ring on the toilet. I built three bunk beds to house the children, set up a makeshift work area and hooked up water for a place for the Laundry to be done.

The kids have been busy making friends. They have been setting up their personal items trying to make it feel like home.

Kylie fell in love with a little girl, Elisabeth, and spent a day crocheting her a little dress. We were all happy to see that it fit her and that she looked really cute in it.

Shalom has been hanging out with so many children it has been hard to keep track.

Charis has made a real friend in Palmella a girl that comes to visit after every church service.

Christian has been playing legos and found a friend in Manuel.

Seth has been playing guitar, video games, and helping me with the work around the house.

Thanks so much for your prayers and that God would continue His work IN us.

We are grateful to see His hand at work IN our lives.

Build us a house O God, Its rooms are filled with praise
