A Home of Our Own

January 23, 2016 by the olsen family 1 Comment

Our family 4 years ago. ❤️

Closing Day on our first home

We just got the keys to our first home that we owned after 12 years of marriage and 3 kids. This was such a special moment for our family! It was a long time coming! We waited so long for the perfect home for our family! We’ve made some amazing memories here and experienced some huge losses. We’ve added another baby here and we’ve lost a baby here. We lost Norm’s dad shortly after we moved in. It’s been the longest I’ve ever lived in any home in my life. I’m thankful for the blessing of my family and my home. These past 4 years have been the best of times and the worst of times. God has been with us through it all.

Encouragement

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
~ 1 Timothy 6:12

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ
~ 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
~ John 16:33
