Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. 1 Chronicles 16:8

Home Inspection

We had our home inspection today and it went very well. Truth be told, we were a little anxious about it, but the Lord was good and the process was painless. It was even a little exciting because since it's been so long since we've made progress, it felt like a step in the right direction. 

We worked all weekend (we, meaning mostly Amanda) and stayed up late last night to make sure that everything was "perfect". We checked everything off on the list provided by our agency to see that we had things covered: things like working fire alarms, an accessible fire extinguisher, safety locks on cabinets (which is a little awkward and funny since it's only the two of us right now), etc. We picked up, organized, dusted and vacuumed, and yes, we even had snacks ready to offer our agent when she came. 

Most of that was not necessary. Our agent arrived, in the pouring rain, and was very sweet. She sat down with us and reviewed the process, went over paperwork, and asked us some questions that weren't hard to answer. It was an easy conversation. Then we took her on a tour of the house and she checked on the expected things, but didn't "white glove" like we feared. She made us feel very comfortable and truly encouraged us about the process. 

We thank the Lord for a successful visit and look forward to the followup interviews later this week. 

T-Shirt Order

We also want to thank all of you who have donated and purchased t-shirts. We were really only hoping to get up to 25 orders so that we could get the price down. Well, God has blessed and in just over 24 hours we've sold more than 60 shirts! We've placed the first order and are still getting requests, so we will keep ordering shirts as long as people want them. Feel free to check the t-shirt page for more information.
