So we are 2 weeks into building and things are happening so fast. We have the ceiling and walls painted, one ramp built, offices framed, electrical fixed and lots of other projects in various stages of completion. An example of how this past couple of weeks has gone.....On Monday I was praying and asking God for some snacks. Very specifically, some sweet and salty treats and drinks for everyone working so hard. I was kind of complaining to God really, that I did not have time to go to the store and definitely did not have time to assemble anything!! I ended my prayer time and went down to the building. About 20 minutes later this wonderful woman knocked on the door and asked if there was some building going on. I answered yes and she said
"We had a funeral yesterday and I have some brownies, chips and lemonade. Could you use those?"
I almost fell over!! It is not everyday that we get to experience God on that kind of level. From the snack day on He has been that quick and specific. We had all the paint, drywall, and labor donated (thank you Spegiel & Sons & Brush)-HUGE!! All the steel (thanks Axis steel) for the ramps was donated, more snacks by the Ballard family, framing and material for offices donated by Timco, more general construction donated by Shawn Walsh-I know I am missing some, but the bottom line is we have been unbelievably BLESSED!!
We have waited so long and know that it is here it is mind blowing!! Really my favorite part is 10 skaters working side by side with us every night. I love giving the kids something to do and be proud of. We have some incredible men here that are teaching the young ones to build!! I think this is just a start.....God is amazing and His specific provision is blowing me away!!! If you have not been down here yet or you missed us when you came please keep coming. We want to show you what God is doing. To see how He is not bound by tough economies or two people who try hard but make so many mistakes!!
We made a sweet little video that shows what we are up to. We would love to show it to your small group, church, friends, whoever!! Let me know if you would like to see that. I will post it when we have the final back.

where is this awesomeness located friend?
