The Foundation

Last night my husband and I went by the property where the home is being built that we are buying and saw that they have finally laid the foundation. We were elated to see that it was there. We had been anticipating it for a while and now it was there. The beginning of our new beginnings. We got out the car and did a walk through and tried to imagine where everything would be and the positioning of it all and for the life of us we couldn't tell how they were going to fit the house that we chose on that property. But yet it all stood under our feet with hope of becoming our domain. I walked around the stone and I laid my hands on the pavement, every piece of wood, piping and gravel that I could find. In my heart and in my head I wanted God to exist in the mere dirt of it all.

The foundation meant more to me than just the floor. To me it was a fresh start from a life that has had its share of loops and turns. That foundation to me meant the beginning of my new self, my new marriage and my reinvention of the Kings. The floor that would see and hear us grow together as a family. I thought of the winters that we will spend there and how the landscaping will look through the window covered in snow. I thought of the rainy days and how the rain will sound when it hits the roof and the windows. I prayed that the wood that was laying around would protect us from all evil that walked about. I prayed that the house would hold up to any storm and that my children would be safe here and that it would all come together in his name. I prayed like I was possessed because I had a visual of the future. I don't want anything to go wrong because with no walls at all it all ready feels like home. The smell of the construction in the air would be replaced with the scent of trees and flowers and I was getting excited. Marco and I took pictures next to slabs of wood that had our address on it and everything just seemed so right. Anyone driving past would know that we were moving there because we were snapping pictures like the paparotzzi.

I pray that all goes well with the home that we feel God led us to. My euphoric expectations are all coming together.
