Honestly, the Lord has blessed me so much it is absolutely crazy. You’ve got to understand I am a guy who can’t build a thing not even Lego’s and I don’t have a ton of money. So when the Lord led me to start this thing it really was an act of faith on my part and since choosing to do this thing God has been there for me in so, so many ways. So this post will be regularly updated with the blessings that God has bestowed on me so far. I’ll put them in a list form with further details given in stories below each entry. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you are equally inspired to seek out and follow God’s leading.
Family – Firstly, I have to list the most important blessing in my life and that is my family. My awesome mom is letting me live with her while I do this and her generosity and patience never cease to amaze and inspire me. My brother, Jacob, is an epic blessing. He’s studying Construction Management and he has willing helped me in this house build. I have yet to cease being amazed by his brilliance. My brother, Austin, he is also willing helping me, and it is his determination and attention to detail that constantly blesses me. My sister, Joy, is a constant encouragement and I love that even she is willing to help. In fact, she just got assisted in the pouring of my concrete. Finally my dad and his sister, his advice and tools and supplies given by the both of them have been wonderfully helpful.
The Round Window – I am a bit of a dreamer and when designing my house I added a big round window in the front just to see how it would look. Well I got busy and forgot all about the fact that it was simply there as a dream and submitted my plans. I then realized this and panicking and unsure what to do I prayed about it. Well after praying I felt like I should look on Facebook Marketplace and guess what? There for free on Facebook Marketplace was a giant 4 foot round window the exact one I had in my plans. I was the first to ask about it and got it the very week. By the way in case your curious a four foot round window costs about 2000 dollars or more and God gave it to me for free. Isn’t he good!
The Water Heater – Recently, the Lord gave me my water heater. I have been looking for a mini 10 gallon one and while at a yard sale, I found one for 20 dollars. Ain’t God good!
A Quick Thunder Storm – So I recently rented a tamp to use on my foundation. Well as I am driving to my land to start work a great big thunderstorm comes out of nowhere. So I parked and prayed and honestly told the Lord that I was trying to manage money well and I really didn’t have the extra to rent this thing for another day. Well believe it or not that thunder storm lasted exactly an hour and then it was gone. Well not only did the Lord stop the storm he actually used it to help me. You see I didn’t know that the sandy soil on my land needs to be lightly wetted down before tamping it or the tamp will simply throw up dust and not really do its job well. You see there’s no water on my land yet. So God sent a thunderstorm to help me tamp my land. Isn’t he awesome!!!
Good Weather – Honestly the Lord has just been so sweet with weather. Firstly, he gave me a warm winter as we started work in February but, it wasn’t too cold. Then he gave us a cool spring, a miracle in South Carolina, so my brothers and I didn’t have to dig in too bad of heat. Then recently when pouring the concrete, he gave me an overcast morning with 70 degree weather. So my brother, my sister, and I were able to pour concrete without getting overheated. This was in a week of triple digit weather by the way.
