Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't gotten a chance to post anything new yet, been really busy. Marcus was in Cleveland for a few days & I was here running the office and the house. Not to mention I am working on the 'guts' of this blog...you'll see.
But hey, we got the landscaping in the front accomplished! I'll show you all before & after pictures of our home. Well, of what we have done so far... We are definitely building our home up (like the bible says to do)! That's for sure. Sad thing is, we will tap out...meaning...we have the best house in the worst neighborhood. So, if some day we decide to sell---or have to sell---We won't get half of the money we have put into it (unless this neighborhood changes).
Speaking of my neighborhood... The people in this neighborhood are bringing it down more and more day after day. There have been so many houses broken into & they steal the copper pipes right out of the house to scrap. Get this...They even steal the aluminum siding off of people's houses! I am so shocked that people haven't broken into our home yet. The police probably think we are drug-dealers or something because we work hard to have the things that we have. We make dramatic changes to the house, & people think we are rich because of it...No, we just work hard, save money, & budget to live a fruitful life. I ask that you all pray for these people (they really need help from the lord) & for the people that they are stealing from.
Anywho! I will post pictures soon so you all can see where I live!

I will remember you and your neighborhood in my prayers tonight. It is good you are building your house up and becuase your making an effort others might follow your example, you never know =) Try not to feel too bitter about those who think you are "rich" and don't give any credit where credit is deserved. trust in God to reward you for your hard work and pray for those who look down on you.
I have a very close family member who thinks he or she may one day live off of hubby and I becuase he/she over estemates how much money we have simply becuase i was smart and took any old furniture family offered which ended up providing us with a whole house of furniture when we first got married. He/she thinks that becuase i can stay home we must have money to spare. The truth is we work with what we have and pray for the rest. We try to put the importaint things first, and brush off that we can't go out and buy new things all the time. We have been very fortunate up to this point, but in no way is it becuase we are rich. I try not to look down on him/her for the things they say and the way they act... I simply encourage them to work for these things as well, of course im never met with anything beyound excuses. *sigh* I will be praying for this person in my life tonight for sure. o_0
I can't wait to read your blogs "guts" xD LOL When we are good and settled i will likely be working on a new blog myself, one not meant for my everyday life, but more on things i learned and am learning, things i hope can help others as well. Thats a work in progress though =p tee hee.
Im so sorry i wrote such a long comment!
Hey - congrats about all the things you have done to make your house "a home". :) Can't wait to see the pictures!
God bless
