Several of you have reached out asking what is going on with our property… when are we building, what’s the ETA for our cabin, all the things… so I thought it was time to give an update. ❤️
What started out last year as a delay due to construction prices rising, turned into the need to jump through a bunch of financing hoops as well as an unfixed construction bid due to an unstable economy. In our guts we knew we needed to pump the breaks. 💔
We prayed and asked God for wisdom and discernment on what to do with this gift of this land. How could we use it for our good and for His glory?
While we waited for an answer, we spent time planting a garden, camping, playing kickball in the sunset, climbing trees, deer scouting, loving on our bees as they made honey, harvesting vegetables, sitting, reading, praying, HEALING and so much more. ❤️🩹
And God answered. He in His perfect way, filled our hearts with peace as we decided to set aside our vision for a getaway cabin for couples (though we still LOVE that idea and can point you to a few favorites if you want to visit them) and told us to just ENJOY the land.
We still aren’t 100% sure what the final will look like or be. But we are confident that God knows. His plans are always good and perfect. And we trust Him.
As we left the land tonight with our bounty of sweet corn, zucchini, cucumbers, and pumpkins, I got a little teary 🥹 just thinking abt this place.
How He knew… of course, that this place was exactly what we needed three years ago when we bought it. We had a completely different vision… but He knew. ❤️
So, for now, you’ll find us out here almost nightly in bare feet or boots, soaking up the goodness of Creation. Thanking God that He knows exactly what we need, how we need it, and when. ❤️
