Three years as Home owners!!!

Grateful to Google photos for this reminder!

I did not think it possible or even sensible to move from paying rent to paying a mortgage under just one income. That was NOT the Tameeka plan.

Glory be to God for making a way! Grateful that my dear husband was willing to push forward to ensure that our son has a backyard and a house to grow up in. He was fed up of apartment life and worked to ensure that we would become homeowners.

However, I was not happy. I was unsure of how we would pay a $1700 mortgage when we could barely get by on the $755 rent!!! I am usually the one with faith as big as an elephant to make moves but I just could not fathom. I think I was also still coming to terms with becoming a mom– unplanned pregnancy to say the least. Haha oh but God is so good!

We researched. We prayed. We disagreed. We or I cried! I argued! We used what we had saved and all of my State pension to invest into our first home. I know this was extra big for Deon as he had moved into MY apartment when we got married.

My husband moved us from my apartment into OUR house. OUR home. God made a way!!! We have never missed a payment or utility bill. We lived for two years without cable tv. We have been given a TV, a leather reclining couch set!! Decorations, dishes and so many more household needs! God continues to blow my mind and answer my prayer for a beautiful, cozy and elegant, debt free decorated and fully furnished home!

Shout hallelujah with me! I will include more pics and details in my updated blog and our biography haha grateful to testify now about how God continues to bless us in every way! He has used strangers and friends to give to us. We are thankful.

I am glad that my mom was able to visit and pray over the house and land before it was fully completed. My heart rejoiced when our Pastor anointed the door posts of our house during the house warming dedication and celebration on December 1st 2018! Wow. Just as in the bible!! Just as I desire!! The Tameeka plan was nothing compared to God’s GREAT plan! We are thankful for each person who came to celebrate with us, for the prayers, cards and many gifts!!

This is our first home. I am always happy to welcome anyone God sends our way and pray that they will feel blessed and at home.

Psalm 118:23. This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes!
