Lately I have been a little discouraged, I won't lie. It is hard hearing different things from different people. I have been told this is very different from the "normal" building of Habitat for Humanity homes. I can see that. I am anxious. I am excited. I am trying very hard to remain positive I know that it takes time to build a house, I just want to know what is happening, and when.
A friend and I walked through the house earlier today. I had time before they got there to just walk through, reading the walls, I will tell you- the walls speak "powerful messages". I have tried to take a photo of every verse or saying that has been written on the walls, but I am sure that I have missed some. I am looking forward to the next photo sale at walgreens because I think I have several hundred photos of just verses. That is hundred of "God" inspired verses that my brothers and sisters of Christ have taken the time to write in the house that we will be living in one day this year.
There has been some trim work done in preparation of the siding, the little things that remind me that progress is happening. One day at a time.

Being discouraged is not meaning that I am depressed, just that I am tired of being here in the pit, in a hot and muggy house, with a wore out little boy, and sometimes feeling like things just aren't going "my way". I saved this verse from before and it could not be a better fit for me tonight. He is with me. He hasn't walked away. He is here holding me. Deuteronomy 31:6 " Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. " Sometimes we just need to be reminded that HE is always with us.
