Yesterday, I had my weekly meeting with John and Stacy. We sometimes have a tendency to get off into tangents that make our meetings run a bit long, but I loved yesterday's tangent!
We started talking about how much we have seen God do in the past three years. We spoke with wonder...eyes open to the miracles that regularly happen in our midst.
We walked through our new apartment building, my little future home, currently being held up with bamboo sticks while they finish the decking for the second floor. We dreamt of where the furniture would be, the things that would be possible there, the cozy feeling of one's own home.
And then, we walked up to the second floor of the new apartments...the walls yet to be built. From there, it almost felt like we were on top of the world. We could see our whole campus from the top of the building and we spoke of how we have seen things happen.
Money leaving our account each month to help run things here...but no dent in our savings.
Buildings being built without an explanation of where we were able to get all the money for the supplies.
Children strolling along these red roads, free and happy and healthy.
Staff multiplied beyond what we have expected (from a staff of 5 to now almost 50).
From the top of that building, we hugged each other, seeing how this labor of love continues to expand. A vision that we couldn't have even imagined on our own.
All we can say is...God is good.
