We are building a house!!!! This LOOOONNNG process has been going on since last summer really. It really seems like a long time since I am so anxious! We have been looking for a larger house for some time. Last year we realized that building might be a better option. I just wasn't sure if we could do it. Me being the planner and OCD person like I am, I had to really analyze everything and make myself sick over it. Well the good Lord above worked it all out in his time and just the right way. It amazes me how God sees in the future and works things out just right. God proved me to in the Fall of last year that we could do this. In the last 2 months he really opened my eyes and I saw just how well he worked things out.
So the lot is cleared and ready. They started the footing yesterday and we are beyond excited. It is in Scottsboro!! :)
After the tornados and devastation I was feeling very guilty over the whole thing. I know it was something we were planning way before the tornados came along, but I still felt it was trivial compared to the loss some were experiencing. That is why I am just now blogging about it. I don't want to take for granted what God has gave us!!!!
I am sure I will keep you all updated!!

Power restored
I am SO glad to say our power is restored. I am so grateful to all those workers working around the clock. I appreciate them so much!!
I am back to work today and its been a zoo. I have been so thankful and happy to be at work. God has ways of making us appreciate things. Lord knows I am appreciating things much more today than I did last Wednesday.
I was sad to find out one of our employee's lost his 13 year old son in the storms. My heart just broke!!!!! I can't even fathom that.
You know you hear of such bad things in this world, but these hard times show me how many good people are out there. I was shopping in Belk while we were in ATL picking up some household items for a family that lost their home. We are having a household shower for them tomorrow night. Anyways, I ran into a lady I knew and was telling her about it. After I walked away a different lady came up to me and just gave me money to give to the family. She said she over heard me and wanted to help but had no clue who they were. I literally had to hold back tears.
