I just sent an email to the architect hoping to get it to him before he finalized the plans. We want three palm trees out front of the building. They scream Florida. These will scream, “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” To me they also say, “We’re home.”
Fourteen years ago, when we pulled into Jacksonville after a three-day drive, we parked in the driveway of a rental. I wasn’t super excited about renting. I had been praying for 10 years prior that we could buy a house immediately. So, I let Chris pick the house and put it in God’s hands. When we pulled up, tired and cranky, we were greeted by a palm tree. It made me smile. One year later, we bought that house. The way God answers prayers never ceases to surprise me.
