Packing Up...Moving In..

I’m packing up my house now.
I’m doing it all by faith.
I’m looking for a house now
No more rent will I have to pay.

This house has served it’s purpose,
Although it was too small.
It was a place of shelter,
After a tremendous fall.

Now it’s time to move on,
No more parking on this day.
I’m moving into a direction,
Because I’m moving in 2008.

As I’m working in my kitchen now,
This is what I see:
A brand new dishwasher and disposal,
No more washing by hands for me.
Hurrying to use the bathroom-before there is a knock.
Two or three will do, all having their own locks.
Four or five bedrooms will compliment me just fine.
I only need the one that I can call mine.
A living-room and family-room too!
My oh my I will not know what to do.
Don’t forget my fireplace to keep me snug and warm.
I know my new house will certainly be a bomb……


Romans 4:17-(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before 
him whom he believed, even God, who quickened the dead, and calleth those 
things which be not as though they were.

So you thought that I was playing when I wrote this poem.
It has come to pass and the house looks like a charm.
It will be a new beginning and the neighborhood is grand.
On October the 24th the keys will be in my hand....

I will be still renting for a while.
But to us this is Ok.
It will teach us to discipline better.
For our new house is on the way.
