Bless This House

Gliding Into Spring

/ Kelly Bea / Leave a comment

I was so excited to wake up to a beautiful, sunny day. After backporch church I quickly got started on a house project! It’s so exciting to finally be working on getting the house looking and feeling like home!

This Glider was handed down to us years ago by our Aunt Faye. We loaded it up and took it to our home in Alabama. I cleaned it up, painted it and put it on our front porch. In September when we moved back to Kentucky it came back with us.

The Amazing Glider

The glider was looking worn and needed an update to go with our new farmhouse. Today I sanded it down, scrubbed it clean and got busy giving her a new look. I was so pleased with how it turned out. She is full of life again and ready for many more years of gliding away!

Look at all the colors she’s been over the years!
First comes the Blossom White!
Next comes the New Navy to really make her pop against the white brick!
Looks fabulous with my new wreath from The Tin Roof.
Ignore my dirty porch 😆 we still have a mostly mud yard.
My front porch is slowly coming to life! What should we do next?
She brings life to the front porch!

I think that I might of been just as excited about blessing our home as building our home. For starters seven months ago the thought of moving back to Kentucky and building a home on our farm never even came into my mind. Once I begin to see God at work in our lives and this was going to happen I planned for this!

From the day we started our build I have been praying over our home. I have been thanking God for our home. I have been asking Him to show us His will for us using this farm. So I couldn’t wait to cover the 2×4 walls in His Word soon as I saw them go up. I begin to ask my close friends for verses to put on the walls. I asked family to come and bless the house with us. I began to look up verses, write them down and read them. I would walk the rooms, think about what will happen within the walls of that room and pray over it.

We have a spare bedroom that I plan to build some bunk style loft beds and decorate like a hunting lodge. I imagine the boys coming home and bringing their friends to hunt. I imagine the stories they will tell at night while laying in those beds anticipating the hunt in the wee hours of the morning. I also imagine how much fun grandkids will have on those loft bunk beds one day! 😉

I imagine our friends coming to visit and us sitting around the island laughing and talking. Sitting by the fire during the cold winter months watching the wildlife in the backyard. Mornings on the screened in porch with a cup of coffee and Big Life Devotion. Kevin playing the piano with the windows open for all that lurks in the woods to hear. 🙂

  • Bless this house!
  • Maybe a great grandchild will find this
    when the remodel someday.
  • Covered in His Word.
  • My mom

In our bedroom on the wall where our bed will be I have written 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8! My prayer is that we always go to bed knowing how much we love each other and what we mean to each other.

Love is…

There are verses about love, music, a good harvest, a house and so on. My sweet little four year old niece, Sadie wrote Jesus loves you on the wall in the family room. She was so excited. My nieces Emmy and Nadya wrote verses on walls and so did many other family members. It was a great feeling to see this happening. To feel God’s presence all around our home and in the hearts of those we love.

Thank you Lord for blessing this home! May we always put you first and seek your will. I pray Lord that as you reveal your plans for us and this farm we keep our faith strong and go for all you show us!
