The house is entering into the final stages.  While we don't have floors in every room and some of them aren't painted, it's already become our refuge.  Every time we get done with a day's work and rest on the deck, watching the birds and then the stars I can't help but think of how awesome our God is.  The house is already the safe and quiet place He said it would be.  He's been there and had his hand on the project from the first day we looked over the property.

We've both come to realize how gratifying it is to work in His service and to build His house.  Every day brings new wonders in being able to accomplish something new.  It's only through God's grace and strength we've been able to get this far and continue to go on.  We've had to trust in Him absolutely for everything we need. 

Our bigest concern right now is to get our house in town sold.  I know God has provided for that, and once again trust is an absolute necessity.  Without it we'd both be ready to give up.  We can tell there's a great prayer covering for the R & R House.  You can feel the peace it provides there.  I can't express the gratitude we have for all that have been supporting us in prayer.

I hope that you've been able to see God's hand at work in the pictures and stories Sandra has put up.  God has blessed all that have blessed us with their labor.  What they've sown they've reaped.  Keep us in your prayers and if God lays it on your heart to come help in the labor, well Hallelujah!!!!
