Extreme Makeover Part 2: Home Edition

As I sit here and write my house is undergoing an extreme makeover...I'm so excited! It is getting a new paint job and a wheelchair ramp built onto the front entrance.

When the truck pulled up and dropped off the wood is when I really knew it was actually going to happen.

Earlier this year I heard of a program that offers free home repair services over the summer months. Students from all over the US, supervised by professionals, volunteer their time to participate in this program. Supplies are donated, houses are selected, crews are sent out and...viola!

Early this morning I huge charter bus pulled up and unloaded the students and all their supplies...it was like a TV show. I was waiting for the film crew to pop out from behind the bushes!

All of this is more than a blessing...it is faith manifested. The unknown is scary sometimes, especially when there is a need and you have no idea if and when it will be fulfilled. But God knows His plans. He knew that my mom (who lives with me) couldn't go through another winter season without a wheelchair ramp (she has MS and steps are not her friend). He also knew affording a new paint job was something I didn't need to spend my personal finances on. So, like always, he came through in a way that was far more wonderful than I could have asked for.

I'm excited to see the progress when I get home!...
