Our foundation

As we are building our house, we want it to be on a solid foundation. So a few days ago, Scott and I went over to our new house and as he worked on some things, I wrote Bible verses all over the foundation of our home. More than anything, we want our family and our hearts to be rooted in Truth. As I chose specific verses for each room and wrote them on the frame of our new home, I prayed that God would be present in every space of our dwelling. (All pictures were taken with my phone, so pardon the quality.)

At the front entry, going up the casing of the doors -



In the kitchen -



In the living room -



In the master -





In the school room -



In the upstairs loft area outside the kiddos' rooms -





Birdie's room -



The boys' room -



The playroom -



Soon these verses will be hidden from sight as drywall is to begin sometime this week; they will be hidden, but they will not disappear. Writing these verses on our home's foundation does not prevent trials from coming our way. However, our home and our family is built on the secure foundation of God's love for us. We have prayed for this home for a long time, and now we are praying that God will work in and through our home to guide our family toward His will for us.

"Though the rain comes in torrents, and the floods rise and the storm winds beat against his house, it won’t collapse, for it is built on rock.." Matthew 7:25
