Believing in God!!!! 61 Days


I have enlarged this photo ( taken by Michele- Thank you) .... normally all the photos on here are "small" but I believe in a BIG GOD & this is a BIG request. I am requesting prayer, not that I don't believe that God is hearing me, but because God tells us to share our requests with others. I know that this has been a long journey, but one that He isn't done with yet. He has changed our lives, He has used us to show His plan, He has blessed us beyond words, and He isn't done yet. The title of this entry has meaning to it; 61 days till we have to be completely moved OUT of the house we are renting in the falls, 61 days till we need to be completely moved IN, 61 days till the end of rental houses, 61 days till we can say that we are living IN the house that GOD has provided for OUR FAMILY!! This house belongs to HIM, I will state that now, and as often as I need to.          ( sometimes I need a reminder, so I am giving anyone who reads this full permission to remind me ) I THANK HIM for all that he has done and will do. 

 HE HAS PROVIDED!!
 GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!! 

So, now unto this request.... or should I say many requests, but they are all tied together.  I believe that God has great plans for my family- the entire family. Please join us as we present these needs/desires before him. 

* We need money for the closing costs... about $1500-$2000  ( my lawyer will be taking the case at no cost to me) 
* We need money for the appliances.. at one time ( two different people from Habitat) told me that the cost of these would be wrapped into the mortgage, but that is not the case..... about $1500- $1800 ( this would cover the washer/dryer., dishwasher, and microwave hood) 
* We need help with the remaining building of the house ( drywall will probably start this coming Saturday) 
* We need someone to provide lunches for the Saturday workdays. ( this can be as simple as pizza, or hot dogs in the crock pot) Thanks Annemarie 
* We would like someone to provide bottled water and possible coffee in the mornings ( Tim Hortons in just a block from the house) 
* We need help with the move- Probably mid to late October ( from Lasalle to NT, from storage in NT to the new house) 
* We need help getting the donated furniture & items from 4 different areas, around the time of the move 
* We need help with the open house/house dedication with the unbirthday celebration 
* We need to finish the "thirty-one" fundraiser!  Only 21 squares to sell and then someone is going to win $200 worth of wonderful thirty-one products.
