our house -minor setbacks

As we were tearing up the carpet, we have very beautiful red oak hardwood floor. However, after multiple tries to find someone to strip and refinish the floor, we were pushed back to January. Seems everyone is unusually busy and we could not schedule anyone. Since we move in this week, we decided to buff the floors for now. They have lots of holes from the carpet, but once the furniture and rugs are in, these imperfections should be hardly noticeable (except the main hallway and stairs).

I hurt my elbow quite badly yesterday. I was taping the kitchen for painting. On a step ladder I tried to reach over to the corner. I felt the ladder shift but before I could adjust, I fell off and manged to hit the corner of a garbage can on the way to the floor. It gouged my elbow and I anointed the house with blood. Of all the misfortune. I also need my elbow for work and using the computer. Looks like I will have some pain for awhile. No time to take off.

Finally we took a candle and prayed blessings through the house. We prayed that it would be a place of peace, love, and joy. We also cast out any spirits of darkness and covered the house with the Spirit of God. We also prayed for our occupants that they would find salvation and grow in the Spirit.
