o a few months ago before I started looking at using shipping containers as a building material for our home Katherine tells me about a dream she had where she is driving for rideshare and a man from Brazil with an accent gets into her vehicle as a passenger and will be the man who builds our home....
Well we brushed it off as just a dream and life continues as before.
Meanwhile I get a bug up my butt about permaculture and about alternative building techniques and building materials and one thing that reeeeeally got ahold of me were shipping container homes.
Last week.
Katherine calls me so excited.
She met the guy.
In conversation her and this man from Brazil starts talking about technology and she mentions us looking into different ways to build homes.
He says,"Yes...I own a company that builds homes."
She says,"We are looking at using shipping containers as the material and tying in solar and different other things."
He says,"That's what the company I own does..."
We have his business card for when we are ready.
God is placing people in our lives...when God turns our faces in certain directions and we walk in those directions we are finding people waiting for us with help and wisdom.
Last night I had a passenger who is the daughter of a ex lawyer from the area that no longer practices but works for Duke Energy....guess what dept?
You know the dept for all the solar, wind, hydro?
Yeah.....
That guy.
City of over 1.5 million and that is supposed to be a coincidence?
God is so good.
We came here in late August with nothing...vehicle went kaput on the way over and we basically had the clothes on our backs.
God has been faithful.
Little over 1 month ago we got our first vehicle after spending 2000 a month renting two vehicles for rideshare.
We could only do Lyft and we had to individually make 250 a week before we could get paid.
We were able to save up enough to turn those two vehicles in and get a 2015 kia soul for $500 down and a much lower note than the rental that would allow us to pay bi weekly and be able to do both Uber and Lyft doubling our income stream while quartering our overhead.
This week....we are getting a second vehicle so that we can again double our income and make twice what we are making now in half the time.
With an even lesser note than what we currently have.
In less than a month we will be in our own place and out of our inlaws.
Yes, we could have gotten other jobs easier but had we done so we would NOT be together as a family and probably not alive at all....friends...its been a rough road but we held on and let the process happen and through Him and His goodness He has answered prayer.
We found a place of consecration and cried out to God,"Lord we live among those that do not honor you and give you glory and they seek their own increase...we know if the wicked prosper seeking their own way...that you will prosper us the more seeking Your way."
and Im not taking a dig at my inlaws...just talking about this world in general.
It feels like a dream at times now.
Gotta run but I just wanted to thank every one of you for praying...it hasnt been in vain.
