An Update

Hubby is still diligently working on the kitchen! What started off being a job to replace the floor turned into a complete gutting and rearranging of the kitchen! LOL I can't wait for it to be finished!

He nearly has the bottom cabinets set. We have the counter people coming on Wednesday to measure for the counters. I think they said it could be up to 3 weeks after measuring before they come back to install. I pray that it will be sooner! It's not a very big piece, so maybe it won't take that long!

We also have the dishwasher and another refrigerator coming on Wednesday. This will be the 4th time they've had to replace the fridge! Every time they bring it here the delivery people ding it or scratch it. We brought it home the first time and it had white marks on it from the styrofoam rubbing against it in the box. Sears replaced it and it was delivered the second time. That time it was scratched by the dolly belt when they brought it in the house. Not a little bit, but the finish was scrubbed off all across the front. The third time they brought it in it had big dings in the side from banging around in the truck. Not just a slight ding, but deep gashes all the way down to bare metal.

On the upside, since they've had to replace it so many times, they've upgraded our fridge to one with water on the inside of the door and a filtered ice maker for free! Let's just hope they can get it here without doing any major damage!

Our new floor is in and I love it! It's so nice and clean! LOL I could never get my old floor to look really clean. It was 21 year old linoleum.

Cooking is proving to be challenging, but we're managing. We're eating a lot of sandwiches and things that don't require too many pots. I'm having to do dishes in the bathroom. Wednesday I'll have my dishwasher so that will make things easier.

I recently had a very bad week where I had to lean heavily on the Lord. I had a big health scare and soon discovered that the only things that matter are my faith in Jesus and my family. Everything else is fluff. I truly don't know what unsaved people do when they are faced with a crisis. Where is their hope?

I realized that I had very little to take to the Lord when I die. I want to be pleasing to God and I haven't worked hard enough at that. When it comes down to it, only what we do for God will last. There's nothing in this world more important than our relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Mat 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Mar 13:31
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Luk 21:33
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

Hmm... it's there 3 times. Think it means something? I do.
