In her words:
"When we first got this land, everything felt so slow. Some days it felt like nothing was moving at all."
However, the mood changed once construction officially began.
"The moment they broke the ground, everything changes. One minute the land was bare, and the next minute the framing was already going up," she said.
The clip also featured touching scenes of her and her husband walking through the wooden structure and visualising the layout of their future home. According to her, it was the first time they could truly imagine the rooms, lighting, and space.
Ending the video on a grateful note, the woman thanked God for the progress and gave a special mention to her husband, saying she would never take God’s grace for granted.
