In my relationship with God, I have come to a balance of serious reverence for God and having a dialog in which I respond like a person and not a robot. After selling our house (twice) for quite a loss, I have a sparing conversation with God about out giving Him. I know it is crazy in the sense of salvation, but I am living in the current time and walking with God. All resources are His and I only point out what I understand. Also the Spirit lead us to get rid of/give away 50% of our possessions. I think we did or are quite close. We will definitely hit that goal by the time we sort through our stuff in the new house. Anyway, I told God I have nothing left to give and yet I am investing in a vision that can impact many lives. I do not know where this home model is going with the three bedrooms, kitchenette and bathroom, but we are pressing ahead with renovations. I am not big on borrowing, but figured waiting two years to start would also not be ideal. Sunday we went to home depot to find a smoke alarm/carbon monoxide detector. We ended up with 9 items at 75% off and 1 at 50% off-perfect for our remodel. There was a two burner stove that I could put in the kitchenette. We also found a bathroom sink and 3 units for sink/counters. Also we picked up 4 cabinets. The point is that the kitchenette and bathroom have almost everything to complete. The final item was a combo stove and microwave to fit our kitchen. The old oven was over 50 years. So God sort of humorously got me on this one. Stay tuned for my next spar with God (respectfully speaking).
