In looking at kitchen prices, we found a configuration we really liked and the cupboards, etc...but we didn't like the price of $7500 when our budget was $5500. We were really unsure what to do, but knew that the Lord would give us wisdom. That day, David went on kijiji.com (like Craig's list in the U.S.) where people post things to sell. He saw a white kitchen that was posted one hour before for $2500. We couldn't believe it! We drove the 2 1/2 hours to look at it the next day and see if it would work in our house and discovered amazingly enough that it's the right size and a configuration that will work with some tweaking by David. In the end (after it's taken out and her new $20,000 kitchen is put in) we'll get the kitchen, including the kitchen sink for $1500! We were totally shocked by God's provision! We hope to get a new countertop at some point and David will build some shelf units and take the fake doors from the peninsula side and make real cupboards with them...eventually. =]
Do you ever have someone make a comment to one of your blog posts? If not, it's about time someone did. No doubt that David has done wonders in all he's done by himself, but this latest comment needs a Hallelujah! for how God has graciously intervened with what you needed and when you needed it. What a wonderful God we have.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee! Once in a while people will post a comment. It's always more fun to hear from people because otherwise I have no idea if anyone actually reads it.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, our Lord is SO wonderful!
