Recounting and Rebuilding

This morning - I woke up this serene, mesmorizingly beautiful view. Within the fog - there is beauty. It was such a quiet, still morning as I sat out there with my coffee cup in hand. The fog can be dense and can just hover like it did this morning. Slowly as the sun comes up, the rays cut through the denseness and shapes begin to appear. There is such an ethereal beauty of the rays cutting through - almost makes one feel part of a fairy tale (well at least me).

This morning, I once again rode my bike up to The Window to open up for EXTEND which is a missional community that as taken The Window as a point of ministry. They serve breakfast and sometimes deliver lunches. Anyway, seeing as this was my last Sunday to open up for them - I was able to share some incredible God stories through the past 4 years. It has been very healing and inspiring for me to be able to recount the faithfulness and goodness of God throughout my journey at The Window.

Once I got home, this is what greeted me. Steve tore out the back steps which was crumbling down and not real safe. He doesn't mess around - when he knows something needs to be done - he gets busy.

So cool to see rebuilding taking place in our lives in a new home and I know that the rebuilding will take place for me as I end my time at The Window this week and take some time to figure out what is next. Rebuilding is exciting, especially when you see something take shape and know the result will be really really good. It can also be a place of real vulnerability - in between - transition - in flux - those are words that don't conjure up a lot of security or good feelings. But I do know that whatever is next will be the next phase of my journey and it will be good. I KNOW for sure that my 4 years at The Window have prepared me for what's next. So let the rebuilding begin!!!!!  And I will continue to recount the goodness and faithfulness of God, because that is what builds our faith.
