Dreams and Visions...

The plans are being made right now for changes that will take place both inside and outside of our future home. My husband and I along with our children are very excited as we all have dreams and visions for what home will be like. My mind loves to think of interior colors and decorating options, while my husband talks about a place where he looks forward to being for quite some time. My oldest son wants a blue room, while the girls argue whether the room they might share will be pink or purple. And my middle son just wants to be sure his most precious possessions (his Cars bed and stuffed animals) will be there waiting for him when we move in.

It is very exciting to have these dreams and visions for a season, but we are more ready than ever for our season of waiting to come to and end. Making plans into a reality is where we all really want to be, waiting is usually not our first choice. We trust that this is still a good season, and that once we are working away on the house that time will fly along faster than ever. We would hat to rush through, and miss something that God is doing in our lives while we do wait.

We know that the plans will ultimately work together for our good, as God has promised in His word. We pray our faith would grow through the seasons, spring...summer...fall...and winter. We also know that in the end it will be worth the wait.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Jeremiah 29:11
