Its weird looking around our empty apartment. Its just full of boxes, no furniture. Its kind of sad. But I thought it would be fun to put before and after pictures of our apartment on here. So the following pictures are our before. Then Erik and I plan on finishing unpacking, actually buying furniture, and painting. When we're all done I will include the after photos. Erik and I going to start painting today actually. So hopefully it won't take too long to inlcude the after pics.
Erik and I need money. I know that we're not supposed to worry because God will always provide for us. And to be honest God actually always has made a way for us. But its still hard not to panick when we look at our bank accounts. Its still hard to trust...I don't really trust very many people. God and I have gone back and forth many times with the trust issue. However God has proven to me over and over again that he is beyond trustworthy and that I just need to believe and know that he knows our needs. I know all of these things but my heart doesn't. I need to make my heart understand and feel the power of Father God, I need my heart to believe that God will never let me down. But its oh so very hard to do...
It looks like a very nice apartment. I am anxious to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteReminds me a lot of Lori's and my first place. We have many fond memories of our place as I'm sure you and Erik will have as well.
ReplyDeleteI know it is difficult to see a path, but this time for you guys is a big blessing. It is a time to truly focus on each other because each step you take forward as you build all elements of your life together will require more and more focus elsewhere. Savor each day and celebrate the time together, ask Lori for tips on doing stuff for free or super cheap, she is the champ at low/no budget. This is the time to build your relationship and make it strong before kids arrive on the scene and the focus changes.
Lori and I had five incredible years together before Matthew arrived and I am so grateful for that time. I think it helped us as we've raised our children and given us something to look forward to and lean on when things are difficult.
Your place looks really nice! Thanks for sharing! We are still praying for you!
