I can't think of a time in my life where I have known that something life-changing (a good thing, anyway) was going to happen, but not knowing when it was going to happen. As I try to keep the house clean, wash caught up, dishes done, legs shaved :), etc, in order to be ready anytime should Baby-kun make his entrance, I am reminded of how the Bible says that the day of the Lord will come quickly--even as upon a woman in travail--something like that. It has been good for me to think about my readiness for the Lord's return--a much more important "coming" than the "coming" of Baby-kun. Is my heart swept clean of pride and self, is my garment washed in the blood of the Lamb, is there unnecessary "baggage" of worldly cares in the way, is my spiritual body in good shape.....? Convicting!
We are keeping close tabs on the house construction. Poor Baby-kun--he can't get used to that nail gun--he just about jumps out of my skin when he hears it! Anyway, they got the veranda done and ready to be sided.
Here I am sitting in our front door--in front of that window will be a little bench where our foreign visitors can sit to put their shoes back on--I am particularly pleased with this function!
Today they were putting up these metal supports under the floor beams and bonding them to the floor.
