It has been forever since I last posted. But, wow, what a ride it has been!! At the beginning of the year we began thinking of searching for our forever home. Around the first of February we found a new subdivision going up in the town where we want to call home. Long story short...we close on our brand new home in a little over 3 weeks! We have watched every stage of the development while our home we have branded "Promise" is being built. Now why would we call our home that?
So here is the story....
Ever since I was a little girl God has spoken to be through visions of guidance. Sometimes the details are very vivid and other times he guides gently. Around 3 years ago now I was reading my Bible after a vision God had given me about building a home. In the vision God had given the previous night I saw a home being built from the ground up. I also saw stones being placed at the front entrance to the property and I heard we would find it East of the San Gabriel river in the town we wanted to call home. The next morning, as stated, I was reading the Bible and was guided to the scriptures regarding the Israelites crossing into the promised land. That is where the directives came clear. Our promised land was being mapped out for us as directed in the vision.

| Promise!! |
Fast forward...when we found the subdivision we noticed there were stones placed at the front entrance around a pond. Some of the stones appeared to be coming up out of the water's edge (just like in the scriptures). When looking at the map of the area we noticed it was SouthEast of the San Gabriel. Also, all the homes were being built from the ground up. The three-fold promise!! It was OUR promise. When we were choosing the site we looked out across the way and found the cross from our church looming in the distance. And what song was on the radio? It's my Father's House by Audio Adrenaline. Well, it couldn't be much plainer than that. So...yes, God guided, we followed, and we are about to cross over into our Promised Land and our home we have called PROMISE!!!
Until we get settled, listen to the voice of the good shepherd and see what promise He has for you!
