Friday
Dave Ramsey has a frequently spoken phrase. Whenever someone phones his show and asks ‘how are you?’ he replies, ‘Better than I deserve.”
I am frequently better than I deserve but today, I got the ultimate ‘better than I deserve’ moment when I walked on our floor for the first time. The ribs and blocks were laid and we could walk into where the lounge will be and stand at what will be a Juliette balcony in my future bedroom. Here is Mike and Werner standing in the lounge, while Julian is in my bedroom.
View towards Fish Hoek…
View towards Simon’s Town side…
View from my bedroom…
I felt very humble….all much better than I deserve. It was just all too amazing. Tomorrow the blocks will be complete and hopefully some of the mesh be put on. We did some measuring and by Sunday need to complete putting all the conduits in place. The concrete for this floor is due Monday morning at 9am.
Quite a landmark day. ❤ None of us ever believed we could build a house that has a view like this.
Isaiah 43:7
Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.
These are the days.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.

Gym:
Today, my main role was to be available for Mike, so I went out a couple of times to pick up stuff for him. We had some things to drop off at Echo at 8am so met there and I walked to Fish Hoek with Julian. This evening, we also did a little walk around Sun Valley, so I have scrambled together 13145 steps.
