God has allowed us to get so much accomplished in such a short amount of time as you have seen pictured on this blog. We have been and continue to be so thankful for all that has been done. This fact is even more extraordinary since the two people involved in the lion's share of the work came into this with severe health issues.
There have been those days where we've needed to step back and rest but it's amazing how God sustains us when we are doing a work for Him. I think about how crippled my hands can be at times - how I can't even play the piano any more - but God has allowed me to paint once again.
To some it may not seem like much but for me it is everything. You never realize how much you have been blessed with until it is no longer there. Then when it comes back, the realization comes to you.
Then there is Tim working with me who is recovering from a massive stroke. Before this project came along, Tim would do a couple hours of work then would have to recover for 2 or 3 days afterward. He is here almost everyday for 8+ hours with hardly any recovery time. He gets home each night and can hardly sleep because his thoughts are filled with other things we can do for this ministry.
So for our readers - today I would submit to you that if God has placed something in your heart to do - go forward. Don't be afraid, don't get discouraged, don't tell yourself that you can't. Trust that God knows what he's doing. What He calls you to do - He will equip you to do.
