The wood floors are in their last few hours of being sanded this morning… I was over there last night at the house and they look great! Tim has been working so hard for hours on using that big, loud sander and has made great progress. I’m excited for the finished product now…
This has been a little lesson in submission for me. I started researching on the internet how to refinish our own wood floors and I was finding a lot of people describing what a horrible experience it is with horrible results. Most of the comments that I read said that they would highly recommend just paying the money to have the floors refinished professionally. I was very uneasy about doing the floors ourselves, envisioning all the things that could possibly go wrong – and I expressed my uneasiness to my husband. He, however, was still wanting to do it ourselves, even in spite of all the possible hangups that I described to him. Ultimately, the decision was, of course, his. And, by God’s grace, I, with a quiet heart, was able to submit to his wishes.
Now, of course, even if the floor was going terribly, I would still need to be quietly submissive. But, I am seeing that my handy husband has a better handle on what he is and is not able to do than I do! 
And because of his dedication to getting the hard work done himself, he’s saving us a lot of money! And I pray that the work continue to go smoothly, as the Lord wills, as an encouragement to my main man in his hard work.
The house is shaping up so nicely! It’s going to be a cozy little place to live – I’m excited to move in next Saturday (which is coming up so quickly)!
