The Writing on the Wall

James 1:12

We started building our house in 2004. At the time I told Jeremy that when we were in framing stage I wanted to go over and write scriptures on the walls. But soon after construction began I got pregnant with Emery. And soon after that, within minutes I think, my “all day morning sickness” began. And soon after that, we got a contract on our house that we were living in. And soon after that, between puking and taking care of a 2 year old, I started packing boxes.

Needless to say, I missed the framing stage.

Now our house is down to the studs once again. I was determined not to miss out on my second chance to cover the walls of our house with God’s word. So a few days ago, I asked the kids, “Who wants to write on the walls?” They looked at me like an alien must have invaded their mother’s body.

Then I explained what we were going to do. We all wrote down some of our favorite verses and headed over to the house.

Eph 6:1

We are memorizing Ephesians 6 this year for school, so Emery chose to write the first verse in his bedroom closet. “Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right”.

The Writing on the Wall

Savannah picked 2 verses for her room. One was the first verse she ever memorized, Phil 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always; I will say it again, Rejoice!” And also 2 Peter 3:14 “So try your best to be found pure and without blame”.

Ps 90:12

I don’t know how many I ended up writing down, but I do know that I wrote at least one verse in every room. It gives me great peace knowing that we will now be living within the walls that are covered in Truth!
