They say a picture is worth 1000 words. With that in mind, most of this blog post will simply be pictures, with captions that will hopefully give you a feel for how we have been spending our time. But first, I had a thought I wanted to share...
We have reached the point in our work here where the end is not quite in sight, but the work is actually getting harder. The adrenalin has worn off and it is now taking true determination and drive to push forward. It is a matter of will to continue with this difficult work, and there have been times when each of us has felt some frustration. But, push forward we will.
This is not so different than our lives as Christians. Sometimes our
faith walk can take true determination and drive. Often times walking
with Christ is matter of will. Step by step, day by day, Jesus is with us even when we may not "feel" like it. We know He is with us here, and I know He is with you as well... even when the "new" has worn off. Trust Him.... We are!
Enjoy the pics!
