Hallelujah, the basement is done!
This may not mean much to anyone else but to me this is proof that my house is now built on solid ground. Or at least that is what they have guaranteed me to believe.
I got a little bold and asked the young foreman if he was a religious guy. Asked him if he knew the biblical passage about building your house on solid ground. He wasn't sure about that. I told him that in a way he is really about doing God's work by setting peoples homes on immovable ground and not on sandy soil. That the principle was biblical and he was being a blessing. He smiled and laughed uncomfortably and scurried off as quickly as possible.
To me, this is a spiritual metaphor for our family. Our home is the physical part of the foundation that we are building but ideally it is about the spiritual base and girding in of truth that is important. If one part of the foundation is sinking then we need to re-examine our hearts, check out our spirits and ask the Lord to gird us in His truth and promises. I love that in the midst of these men digging holes and literally hoisting our house back into place we have the ultimate cornerstone to build our house on, the immovable rock, our real shelter, our true deliverer! I praise Him for the ultimate sacriface to keep us steady. He is the one to be praised.

Holy cow, those pictures are scary. Your beautiful basement! I'm glad you're seeing the biblical side of this little project. :) And that you're witnessing to this 19 year old...you rock.
Congrats Brenda on the completion of the Mega Doosie! And it's so good you can see God in this. Planting seeds, one construction worker at a time. :)
