About The Project
Keeping it simple. Throughout our journey, we are gaining a faith and experiencing Jesus walking with us and leading us through this adventure. A light that shines even in the darkness, His name is Jesus.
Some things have pulled our hearts especially, the longing to live in and provide a place for rest, learning and meeting together.
A place to live, learn, grow, love.
A place for loved ones to rest.
A place for families to renew.
A place to grow.
The surprise: in longing to provide, we've now experienced the need we long to fill. The challenges, the pain, the healing, the hospitality. He calls and He equips.
In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Listen First
Zadai: Listen First
So, scriptures on building or that we have learned to lean on most recently:
Psalm 127:1: Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.
Proverbs 25:19 Trust in a faithless man in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips.
Build a parapet: safety
Build a place unto the Lord first (not a place to dwell but of honour)
Sit down and calculate the cost first
Goshen
Genesis 39:5 The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.
Joshua 24:15 Choose this day whom you will serve ... but as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord”
Deuteronomy 12:11 Then to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name
Building Spiritual Shelter
The physical things we do, our actions,
build spiritual places
of safety
of beauty
of worship.
We reach out to love:
we build castles in heaven.
It is not us who start it.
We build what we see the Father "build" spiritually as Jesus did what He saw /sees the Father do. We do as Jesus/God does, to "build" and "bring" heaven.
Where I need,
to be?
Kettle on the stove, over a roaring fire
Joyful on her own couch, with a step up these days, covered in pillows,
dollar store cup that says "The Adventure Begins",
noteboook, mom's pen, one of the pens dad keeps leaving too,
bible,
snow covered pines,
pining for the temple to be complete,
piano by a bed only steps away,
generator power till the panels are in,
sun is shining,
son is consoling, says he loves living here,
husband says he panics too,
'Godliness of suffering' says the radio preacher,
I put on a sweater as son goes to soccer,
don't have to fight to heat the house to t-shirt weather,
we've rested in our colds,
so maybe all will be well?
Been wondering what God says.
Did I get us into a big mistake?
Am I running at the right pace?
