Standing at my kitchen sink this evening there seemed to be a warm glow in my back yard. Dusk was settling in. But, while I washed dishes I could enjoy seeing Michael working, because there was light coming from inside his shop.
Lights. We’ve got electricity. and its a big deal.
Why does it seem so monumental? Well, I’ll tell you.
A year and a half ago, we made some decisions. Among them was the choice to build Michael’s workshop. Lots of time and money later we aren’t quite finished. The outside is close, and the inside finishes will hopefully be completed this winter.
He has persevered in relentless pursuit of this calling. and I am a witness to his unwavering commitment. This continues to be a faith endeavor that requires significant action. Sometimes it is hard. terribly hard. And other times it comes as naturally as, well, flipping on a lightswitch .
But, power in the shop is confirmation : we are almost there!
And more importantly it is proof, one more time that God makes good on His Word ; If He begins it, He finishes it. If He requires it, He gives the necessary strength. Tonight these promises have been proven to me again, simply because He provided the light and shined the truth into my heart.
