Four Things I Learned While Living in a Garage ~ four

Four – Let others in on your adventure.                                                                                                    

As builders, we are often living in temporary digs. In this situation I am the temptation to pull back from having people in our home; I prefer waiting until we are in our new house. One day while living in one of these temporary living situations, I resolved to rest from hospitality. Until I felt the Lord speak to my heart. He gently reminded me that I did not know what tomorrow will bring; we may never move into that new home we were building. I didn't like to think about that. As my heart began to open back up – so did the door of our rickety little house on 9th street in Huntington Beach, California. Over the time we lived there, we had more people to share a meal or live with us than we had previously experienced! I am thankful for these fun memories because they encouraged me there were more memories to make while living in our garage/future shop! We even created a guest room with a curtained partition between it and our bedroom for our many overnight guests! Re: guest room photo; can you see one of the three garage doors?!?!
