Good morning! I hope your having a great morning. =) We went to look at the house we were supposed to stay in...it's not ready for anyone to move in. There are no sinks, no counter tops and the plumbing is not hooked up. So, we are staying in a motel right now for at least a few days until things are finished there. My husband is putting our stuff in the storage unit that finally got worked out. The kids and I are hanging out in the motel so we don't have to sweat! So, God has a big plan and things are going to work out soon I am sure! For right now I don't have a house to clean (looking for the positives here, lol) so I have a little more time to be here today hopefully. =)

Sorry to hear that you have to stay in a motel but at least it is temporary. Hope you are in your temporary or even permenant house soon. Has your husband talked to this guy about helping him fix up these places he needs worked on so you guys can get into your permenant house sooner? With as much as he knows how to do I am sure the guy would not mind the help

@LovingMyBabies That is great news. Sounds like steady work if he has lots of places that need fixed up.

Does the room at least have a little kitchen so you can cook? I remember when we were living in motels there were so many that didn't have a kitchen. I mastered hot plate cooking lol

Things will definitely work out. At least, you know that you won't be staying in a motel for long. You do have a place to go to, once it's all fixed.

There are a few positives here. You'll have a place as soon as the house is ready. I like the idea of no housework. I hope the work gets done quickly. I've got you in prayer.
