We sold our renovators delight and were looking for a sanctuary, somewhere quiet and space to refresh from hustle and bustle of the world.
We bought land in the hope to build but faced a lot of challenges with bushfire and landslip overlays. The final straw was Violet relapsed for the first time. We gave up on the dream to build and sold our land for a loss.
It was a tough time, but we still believed in faith, prayed for a home, and planted more seed in the church building fund.
God is amazing, he not only helped us buy in a competitive market, but he gave us all the things in the house we were designing to build and more; low maintenance, closer to school, home office, room for visitors if we needed help.
Our home is a blessing.
What we didn’t fully realise until we moved in was our house faces west, we could complain it get’s hot, but the sunsets we see from our front deck are stunning.
Thinking about it now, we could look at this metaphorically; we’ve seen another sunset in this home with Violet passing. We could complain she’s gone and dwell in deep sorrow, but we don’t. As the sun dipped below the horizon on Violet’s life we’ve heard how her beauty, hope, love and gratitude has lit up other’s lives. We thank God for blessing us in a time of need and the pleasure of knowing Violet.
