This Is The HOME That We Built: Bible Study and a Track-hoe

Thursday was scheduled to be the start of our footings. The outline of the house was drawn on Tuesday and we were excited to get some more dirt moving so it looked like we were actually building a house. Months ago, I had scheduled to host Men's Bible study, a perfect time to show off our property. So, a campfire (don't worry it was approved per fire code... but that's another blog post), food, friends, and Bible study was on the plan for Thursday evening.

With the rain on Wednesday night, the ground was a bit wet so digging of the footings needed to wait until it dried out a bit. As 6:30pm hit, Tara was getting some hotdogs and s'mores together for Bible study and Dustin was unloading his track-hoe to dig the footings before dark. Great timing, right?

We still had Bible study, and Dustin still dug for the footings. I only had to excuse myself from Bible study a couple of times to check on the work, and once to invite Dustin to the backyard for a hotdog and a coke when he was done. He almost accepted the offer for a s'more, but maybe the desire to get home at the end of a day was stronger.

We finished Bible study and the footings were poured on Friday. It is starting to look like a home will be there soon! I'm happy to already be able to share our home with friends and be able to reach out to those we meet.
