The Foxhall Manor













And this is the work Gabriel completed on the Foxhall Manor. The lights were installed and working. The trim work had been done on the conservatory. AND, the wallpaper had been put up in some of the rooms. She had even added the flooring to the main entry area!

I'm going to love having an angel in my life. Gabriel has brought new meaning to my walk with Christ and the mini world that I live in. She was telling me today that God wants me to start using this "hobby" of mine to bless people. She said, "He especially loves children. Can't you figure out a way to use this hobby of yours to bring glory to His Kingdom?" Then, with a twinkle in her eyes, she ran to get on the computer. I asked her what she was looking for on the computer, that maybe I could help her. "A hospital for children. Don't you think they would love something like this? Or maybe you could donate a house a month to a church."

Wow. Gabriel surely didn't waste any time with telling me what God has in store for me to do. I just wasn't so sure I could complete a house per month. "Sure you can. You can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you." Then, she turned back to typing on the computer.

This is going to be real interesting.

God bless and goodnight.

He Already Knows Your Heart's Desires!



When I woke up this morning, I found a ton of work had been done on all of my miniature projects! The Thornhill had been stuccoed and painted. Le Reve Estates' laundry room had been wallpapered, and the Foxhall Manor had wallpaper in several rooms.

I immediately ran to Gabriel and asked her what was going on. She looked at me and said, "I told you, God already knows your heart's desires. You wanted all this stuff done and just didn't know how to get started. So, while you were sleeping, He told me what you wanted. I did it." And there she stood, looking at me as matter-of-factly as she possibly could. I didn't have to tell her that all of the work was perfect. I could tell that she already knew it.

I wanted to ask her if she was tired. Before I could even say a word, she looked at me and said, "Angels never sleep nor slumber. 'Tired' is NOT in our dictionary." Then, she started singing, "He knows your every desire...He knows what you need. Yes, He knows." (I'd never heard that hymn before, but I imagine there are A LOT of hymns that the angels in heaven sing we've never heard!

I can't wait to go to sleep tonight. I can only imagine what she'll have done by tomorrow morning!
