Special Note:
A Short Post but Noteworthy
I have been praying to God throughout our building process for guidance with the many decisions we have had to make. I have also prayed that my family and I will put God first in our new home. So when I recently read in “Atlanta Homes Magazine” about what Monica Pearson had done when she was building her home, I knew I wanted to do the same thing. Monica Pearson and her builder, John Ruben Caillero, wrote little Bible verses on the wood beams in the house. So behind every wall in the house is a Bible verse. She said she felt like “from the beginning her house was built on sacred, blessed ground”.
After reading this, I rushed over to the house to incorporate this into our new home before we were too far along in the building process. I wrote on the walls, floor, and wood countertops (before the installation of the actual countertops, of course).
Here are some of the short Bible verses/prayers that I have written into the “hidden spaces” of our new home.

God of mercy, God of grace Be pleased to bless This dwelling place. May peace and kindly deeds Be found; May gratitude & love Abound.
