This Summer we will have been in our house five years, or is it six? Anyways, it's a sweet house, not our forever house, but a good one, with good neighbors... and we've begun to make it our own.
But still, with our human, materialistic nature, and the fact that I live in Texas where 'everything is bigger,' I got the ol' "I need a new house" itch.
And then, I read this article by Ashley over at The Handmade Home. (She is amazing. If you haven't read her blog, you must. She is super creative and inspiring.)
You see, I don't want to be materialistic. I don't want more house than I can afford. And, I love that I have chosen to be home with my little 15 month old while he's still little. And because of all that, I decided to love my house more. Chuck and I have been (and will continue) doing a few simple and inexpensive updates around the house so we can love it more. We want to be good stewards of the house that God has given us so that one day, when the timing is right, He will trust us with more.
I love this quote:
