Deepen Our Roots

Deepen Our Roots

"The weather outside is frightful" begins a seasonal song. And at times this past month our weather has been frightful. The rain, snow and winds remind us of the fact that we are not in control. Everytime I hear a weather report these days I am reminded of the fact that the uncontrollable weather meant that many of us were without power for days. Sometimes those days felt like years. I feel myself brace. The sound of wind outside my window raises my anxiety level. But in spite of it all I know that what I need to do is to "cast all that anxiety" on the person who made the wind, rain, and snow. He has promised us to carry us through all of what the weather and life has to throw at us. We have promises that He will lift us up and sustain us. Now you say how do we tie that string of thought to the Re-Creation Center?

Good question! The building has proceeded despite the weather. We have had no power, freezing temperatures, torrential rains, howling winds and progress has been made. An inspector from the city stated that he was surprized that we had so little erosion damage to the site with all the rain. We are once more reminded that God is in control and He is protecting and watching over this Re-Creation Center!!!!!

That's pretty cool. At least it's one of the many miracles that will take place in the building of the center. I'm sure that lots of erosion would have simply meant lots more money.
