Abbey just came home from school with her first acrylic paint work. After a wee discussion that this blog needed a title she decided that the painting could be called ‘Twilight Identity’. You can imagine how proud we are of this budding artist. This painting is a wonderful show of life and creativity.

Today we went down to find the brick layers hard at work. They tell us they should be finished by next Thursday. So far they’re doing a great job as these photos show.
We were really pleased with how the colour of the bricks is coming up. |

Here’s the happy couple still coming to grips with the amazing new home.
Now we’re working towards the home job of packing and cleaning. We still seem to be on track to move in the week before Christmas. |

On the Picasaweb of the home you can see the kids in each of their bedrooms. We thoughts we would take a photo of them in it now. Then when we move in we will take a photo of the ‘finished room’. One of those ‘before’ and ‘after’ photo ideas. |
Well that’s all for now folk’s. Pray we get some dry weather this week. The brickys lost two or three days this week because of the rain but they are certainly making up fro lost time.
Written by Andrew Pitchford - Visit WebsiteI went down to the house today to see how the brickwork had gone. Danny Waters came with me to have a look at putting in some cabling. We were both surprised that the house was plastered… well the gib rock walls were put up right the way through.
It was amazing to see what has happened in just ONE day.
Written by Andrew Pitchford - Visit WebsiteWe took a trip down to meet the electricians onsite today and the cable was being fed through for electrical, data and telephone services. The plumbers were hard at work making us water wise and using the connections to the water tank etc. The house is looking great and it was encouraging to see how the room sizes are working out from the plan to reality.
Feel free to take a walk through the house. Sorry we haven’t tidied up before you came 
I love how God honours our faith, however small. It ties in today with what I was reading in 2 Corinthians 5:7.
This morning I am blown away by a simple act of kindness by some friends of ours. Our home is coming along beautifully and it looks spectacular. We know however that not everything can be done within the scope of the homes initial budget so we are having to learn what ‘goes on hold’ and what needs to happen now.
One of the things we were letting go of was window treatments. Now we knew we would need some level of privacy for bedroom windows but we were more than happy to work on hanging up a few old sheets until we can make that next step. Thankfully God has other plans.
This morning I received an SMS from a friend asking:
"Would u like some timber blinds for ur house?" (sic)
My answer:
"WOW – we have nothing – I was planning on sheets.
Seriously! Yes please."
My friends response:
"Ok will drop around 5 rooms worth later"
Isn’t it wonderful. I can’t wait to see where they fit. I’m sure God had them sized in advance. It is a relief to let God do the exterior and interior decorating. As creator of the universe you would expect this but His colour choices are amazing. So far I have been blessed how the colours we have chosen from ‘samples’ have tied together for a nice homely earthy feel. It’s all good!
The blind faith has brought in the blinds!
Thank you God, thank you all.
