Odds & Ends...

Here's a few odds & ends we have added to the hizzy!!!! :)

Jacob hung me up a towel rod for the guest bathroom.  Now we won't have an awkward towel laying in the sink. Hooray!! It looks very snazzy! 

Here's the entertainment center we retrieved from our good friend Katelyn's house!!! It works perfect! Our oversized TV even fits in there all snug in a bug on a rug!!!! It's fantastic! 

Speaking of Katelyn, look at the AWESOME present she got me for my birthday! It's a metal I LOVE YOU hand!!!! It's currently in the naked green living room! I like it there, it just needs some furniture to go with it.  We have to take it slow people... we aren't made of money! 

Speaking of birthday presents, this is what my brother got me!!!! It's so great and absolutely perfect!!!! It found its home on the cross wall!! 

The new guy is the one in the top left!!!!!! It's great!!! I adore my cross wall. It's so festive. But it's not meant to be a tool that familiarizes my heart with the cross. I always want to stand in AWE of my Savior's sacrifice! 

This is my chalkboard!!! I love it! I like to write my quiet time Bible verse on it.  This saying "Live Life You're Saved" is one of our favorite quotes to say in Bible Study!!! One of the girls wrote it on there and I just loved it.  This little guy is in the kitchen, where me and Jesus hang out each morning. 

There's more. I have plans. I have been re-fueled with ideas for the house!!! I can't wait to do it all! 

I still can't figure out what to do in the gold bedroom though... boo me! 

We have the best youth group EVER!!!

Our youth group is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! The week after we bought our house they threw us a SURPRISE housewarming PARTAY!! Here are some of them: 

 We were SUPER surprised and pumped!!! The youth had been scheming for a while.  I knew something was up, but didn't know it was this!!! 

 This little lady was the brains behind it all!!! She's so sneaky! We love her!! :)

Thanks Haleigh!!! You made our night so special and made us feel SOOOO loved and thankful... we were overwhelmed.

Here's the cake!!! It was so cool!!! It even LOOKED like our house!! It was crazy cool! 

Then some more of our FAVORITE people in the entire world - our youth - gave us TONS of presents!!! We took pictures with each one. Some of them had already left when we started snapping photos, so we just pretended they were there!!!! Get ready for PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!! Rejoice with us for good friends, love, and thankfulness!!! 

We are blessed!!! We got a TON of crosses and things with "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord" - I guess that's what happens when you are in ministry.  We love it all... I just think it's funny!! :) Our house is EXTRA crossy and versey!!! :) 

I am absolutely overwhelmed with how loved we are.  I pray that each youth pictured above enjoys our home with us - that they find rest, love, acceptance, laughter, and JESUS in our home!!! 

I love it. One of my favorite nights. :) 

The Dwelling's Decor

Wanted to update you on the beautiful decor for the dwelling.

This is our triangle table!!! Cool, right?? Jacob actually saw it first and KNEW I would love it.  He was right!! I think it's awesome!!! I have a triangle table with benches and stools! It's perfect! 

Here's our bed.  Jacob, my hunky hubby, made us this new headboard.  It's made out of an old door from our church.  We sanded and washed the door, and then Jacob hung it up snug and secure!!  I LOVE IT! 

Here's a closer view.  We also got a new bedspread... it has a tree on it.  I love it because I am really digging the topic of ROOTS.  I know the spread doesn't have roots on it, but trees in general have roots and so... just go with it.  So... this spread represents our hearts of wanting more... wanting to go DEEPER STILL. 

⁶ And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. ⁷Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

Colossians 2:6-7

Of course, Walt had to get in on the photo shoot. :)

I know this is a bad pic, but this is our display cabinet... the plates are displaying nicely!!! I like yellow - it's bright and cheery!!! 

Here is Walter's latest victim.  Sorry, mom.  He has already destroyed his new present.  The string toys just don't stand a chance against Walter.

More later!!!! 

The Hizzy...

Here is a video tour of my house!! 


Hope you enjoy! 


Please forgive my dog, Walter... he catches dumbness every once in a while! :)


Also, I was planning for the outside tour when... all of a sudden... MY MEMORY CARD WAS FULL!!! :( I'll have to complete the tour at a later date! RAIN CHECK! 

That's my house!!! Come visit... if you aren't a creeper! 

Jesus, INVADE our new home!

(more pictures of our HOME coming soon)


I have been praying over my home this morning. This is the song I prayed over our trailer. It's powerful and I long for Jesus to INVADE every area of our house. To protect it. To have mercy on it. To use it for His glory ALONE. To bring people into it. To heal people through hospitality. To be a place of brokenness and humility before the Lord. To be a place that offers hope, comfort, and joy. 


Here are the lyrics that I have prayed and will continue to pray over our home. I invite you to pray alongside us (Invade by Watermark):

Come, come in, invade all You see of us

Any man, who'd walk Your road is welcomed here

And You're the only one

Oh Jesus, come and walk the halls of this house

Yeah tread this place and turn it inside out, oh with Your mercy

And Jesus teach us the prayers that open these doors

Until Your light floods in and illuminates these floors

And let Your truth be on our steps and in these rooms

Jesus invade, invade

And reach, reach in with the hand that heals all our suffering

Conquer all that is not of You, bring Your spirit through

As we fill these walls with Your praise

And I call for angels

And I call for mercy

And I call for freedom

In the name of Jesus

In the name of Jesus

Come, come in, invade all You see of us

Any man, who'd walk Your road is welcomed here

And You're the only one, You're the only one

And You're the only one

Oh Jesus, come and walk the halls of this house

Yeah tread this place and turn it inside out, oh with Your mercy

And Jesus teach us the prayers that open these doors

Until Your light floods in and illuminates these floors

And let Your truth be on our steps and in these rooms

Jesus invade, invade

As I call for angels

I call for mercy

In the name of Jesus

ThE hOuSe!!!! FiNaLlY!

My husband and I are finally purchasing our first house... TOMORROW!!! 

It's been a crazy ride! I am thankful for a wonderful husband who has put up with me for months and months of house hunting, broken contracts, and LOTS of questions!! 

God is FAITHFUL and His plans are WAY better!! Wow! 

We had been trying to do it our way and our time... of course! God said wait... we didn't listen. 

We found this house about a month ago.... maybe a little longer. It's WONDERFUL! It's the first house we had a true peace about. The other houses we made OKAY in our minds and forced ourselves to think it was "THE ONE!" I said that about every house. Ha! Jacob was a little more rational! boo logic! 

So... this is how it played out:

I became full time July 1st

Jacob got a raise starting July 1st

The owners' of OUR house closing date was July 1st

We are closing July 8th!!! 

God is insane.

Why don't we just listen? I don't know! 

This house was also one of the least expensive, in GREAT condition with character, and the owners offered to pay the closing cost - YES! 

So... without further ado, here is where the Morgans will be residing:

OUR cute house. Yes... there is no FRONT door. How unique are we?? It has a side/front door.

Here is the pretty side/front door.

OUR gold living room!

The cutest built-in shelves I have EVER seen! 

The precious kitchen! It's quite cozy.

The view from the second living room - it's very open and i like it.

The second living room - this will be the Bible Study room :)

The cool cabinet/picture frame holder in the kitchen/living room area

A cute valance I hope the old owners leave! Cross your fingers! 

Appliances...

One guest bedroom - this will be a black and white and grey room! 

another view. 

The other bedroom - this will be the goldy room! 

Em and all BFFs - you can pick which room is yours!!! :) can't wait for you to visit me here.

The cute guest bathroom - already painted GOLD b/c God knows what makes me smile! 

The foyer with a strange wire... who knows! 

Another cute shelf thingy!!! I love them! They are my favs! 

A window! EXCITING! 

Our bedroom with his and her closets!! AWESOME! 

Our bathroom! 

The carport -so the outside needs some landscaping and some TLC. Just give us time! We are excited about the work... well we are excited about the result! 

The future patio and flowery/garden area! 

Another shot! 

Our romantic deck from our bedroom.  We will be adding stuff to that to and planting some COLOR in the yard! 

Walter's BIG back yard!!! He's PUMPED TOO!!! 

The washer and dryer's home!! 

I can't wait! I'm so blessed. Can't wait to see what God has in store for this house! 

Kinda sad to say bye to the trailer... :)
