My good friend, Janelle, is on the last legs of a 16 month home-building project. Unlike most of David’s clients who hand him the plans and think it is difficult making all the decisions and living through the time period of building, we “build it yourselfers” know what difficult really means. Practically single parenting. Enormous work load as you do your own work plus as much of your husband’s home responsibilities as you can to free him up. Long days and short nights. Terrible mental taxation as you make decisions based on personal preference and budget (and the two rarely jibe). Feeling like you have no husband and then feeling guilty because he is working as hard as you are to give you this gift of your own home. If you’ve built a house yourself, you know what I mean. If you haven’t, you’ve still had other times in your life that felt stressful to you. <\/p>\n
I remember getting very sick with a strain of strep I couldn’t shake for three months the week before we moved. I’m wondering if you would join me in prayer that God would hold up Janelle and her family the next week or two as they finish and move in. Pray for physical, emotional, and mental strength during this one last hurrah. And while you’re thinking of her, go here<\/a> and cheer her on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My good friend, Janelle, is on the last legs of a 16 month home-building project.
