Old Dogs and Good Friends

-
First, let's talk about something near and dear to my heart. Dry wall. Y'all, live without it for years and you'll gain an affinity for it too. Seriously, I have beautiful news. There was a divine appointment. Thursday a man is coming to sheet rock my/our bedroom. Yes. Yes. Let's all hug. I would like for you to pray beautiful prayers over him, his wife, and kids. Stop right now and pray. Thank you. I cannot tell you how excited I am. Just in case you forgot, my walls are covered in Lowe's house wrap. It's exotic, but I am ready for it to be covered up. 

Let's talk about some things. I love people. I haven't always. Or I did and then I didn't and now I do. Something to that effect. It's the process of healing. Jesus does good work in our hearts. I was very thankful to be able to spend the weekend with some of the people I love the most. Sometimes in life you meet plain old-fashioned good people. I have some of those. Having the blessing of earnestly seeking the Lord with people lights a fire in your soul. I am truly thankful for good friends. I am thankful for friends who love my man. 

Let's talk about something else. I am thankful for friends who can cook. Pepper gravy is my love language. My daddy makes the best gravy I have ever had. It ministers to me. Our friend John made the gravy. Y'all. Never in my life. The way he cooked and served 28 people actually brought a tear to my eye. It is always beautiful to see someone moving in their gifting. 
That gravy though. Y'all.

There was homemade pimento cheese too. I'll save that for another day. I have a weird pimento cheese story. 

So. Here are some pics of my people. I'm sorry I didn't get a group picture of the adults. Next time.  Love well, y'all. Preach the gospel to those you love even if it brings you pain. Submit your heart to Jesus Christ and love like the dickens. Obey in faith. There are wonders to behold and beauty afoot.

 Sometimes you get to see Gomer's House on the road.

A Writer's Callous

-

Alright, baby photo below. Quit emailing me! ;-) I remember having a writer's callous when I was five years old. In my adolescence I hated it. Now, I find it fascinating. Almost as long as I have been alive I have borne a mark that declares I am passionate about something in such a way that it bores into my skin. I have been blessed with wonderful Apple products to use and I still prefer writing things out. I heard Michelle Pfeiffer say David Kelley writes out all of his award winning shows on yellow legal pad. I like that. I prefer a journal and a real wood pencil (the kind that are stained, not the yellow ones.) There's something romantic about it to me. Writing is a choice medium in my relationship with God . I love to prayer journal. I pour out thanks for every minute that I get to spend doing it. In last weeks post I told you that God broke my Mac so I would spend some time alone with Him (then I can have it back in January). Shortly thereafter the enemy came in tel

David Crowder's House Restoration

-
Image
A recent edition of Waco Today featured David Crowder's six year renovation project(we had to go check it out). I said a quiet prayer that God would let our house be completed before six years was up for us and then I dove in to the details. David and his wife bought the home of the man who invented Dr. Pepper. It is encouraging to see something that took so much effort and energy come to completion. May we soon see the same thing. You can read the story of the Crowder renovation here .

Gomer: The Inspiration Board

-
Image
I saw this thing on HGTV once. People would look at these mega-money "inspiration rooms" and try to copy them on a thin budget. I decided I would copy this idea and begin to put inspiration points around the house. My first point is an inspiration board on the front of our house. Much of the paint on the front of the house has been scraped off. So I took it upon myself to sand a whole board down and prime it. She is a beauty. Now, people will be inspired from miles around and flock here due to the inspiration of this one bright white board. At the very least, it has inspired me to want to paint another one.  We had a lovely time of worship here on Sunday at our first night of House Church. The Holy Spirit was so tender with us as He led our hearts to repentance and praise. I am thankful for those the Lord brought here that night to sit in a simple place in a simple way to worship Jesus. Join us this Sunday at 5 p.m. If you are hurt, lonely, broken, or searching, please join
