So last Monday, renovations officially began!
Its been a bit of a whirlwind...so many moments of God showing up when I needed His help! Usually in the form of friends lending there arms to pack and sort and move and organize!
It was unbelievable! I am so thankful!
Honestly had NO IDEA how much work it would take just to box up all the junk, push it into the living room and move everyone to moms house. It sounded simple to me! Which, by the way, was a way I think the Lord was protecting me from anxiety over that! I had a minor/major meltdown on Sunday afternoon to Art, explaining that I had NO IDEA how I was going to get all this done. I was flipping out! Sweet husband! We accomplished more than I thought we would that day and then the next day, Monday, mom showed up. Then one of her friends. Then another. Then one of their husbands with boxes and tape and paper. And within hours they were done. DONE!!!!!!! 90% of our house was packed up and we were ready to go. Y'all they were amazing! Seriously little worker angels that impacted me in a major way! I did not wrap one single thing. We had a huge pile for goodwill. And when Art got home later that night, he was so relieved!
