This post is a continuance of previous posts on The House that Jesus Built.

I just want to give God the glory for what happened these last two days. In the face of bad weather and mistakes in materials delivered, the Lord amazed us as these men put this structure up in two days.

Enjoy the pictures

The day before we built. Materials, a basement, and fair weather

Building day morning

Faithfulness

Decking the floor joists

Day two first thing in the morning

Up go the exterior walls!

Setting the first (gable end) truss.

Continuing to set trusses

Decking the roof

A craftsman building our basement steps

A view from behind the house

Decked and covered with tar paper

One blessed family!

Thanks again for your continued prayers. We'll keep you updated.

Bro. Ben

Learn to know Christ and him crucified. Learn to sing to him, and say, "Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You have taken upon yourself what is mine and given me what is yours. You have become what you were not so that I might become what I was not." --Martin Luther

Brother Ben it is really great to see so much done on your house. I a sure it is really exciting to finally see it going up. Nothing like a go old barn raising, { or in this case house raising} . I have always enjoyed getting together with other brothers and putting up a house for someone else.
May God continue to bless you.

Dear Friends,

We are so excited! This is our first house to own. We are ready to settle down now. But ready to uproot and sell if the Lord leads us elsewhere. I hope we can enjoy the fruits of our labor for a while. I'd like to stay here forever, die here.

It is such a blessing to see how the Lord has put it all together.

Finances are stressed to the max!

Stressful to say the least. Lots of prayer needed. Please

We failed our inspection...1 points need to be corrected!

Wow! Well we are glad to have the strict codes because they help you build a sturdy house. I'm thankful.

Please keep us in your prayers.

Love, ~ sister Darlene ~
