July 8, 2018: THERE ARE GIANTS IN THE LAND!

SO the floors are done and we still have a mess. I would be a liar if I said we weren’t stressed. Now this whole 1^st and 2^nd phases need paint as well as keep working in the 3^rd phase. We just want to get this done and get back to work and get ready for classes and church on Sunday…and to top it off our painter left for vacation this week. This about brought me to tears. Until. Sunday at church Mr. Jeff told Randy he wants to come to paint this week! Seriously! Then Monday morning Mr. Dave came to paint and Tuesday Mr. Roberto and our beloved Jacquie showed up to paint-both Mike and Dave union painters and Jacquie…she’s just faithful, tall, quick and good at it. Jacquie is working in 3^rd phase since carpet is coming next week…yes, I said it…carpet!

SO there are giants in the land. We have had 3 very, VERY long weeks. We feel so guilty for feeling so stressed, but the enemy has attacked at every corner. We feel as if we have been kicked in the gut over and over and over. The Devil doesn’t play fair and he hasn’t let up at all. We knew there were giants in the land but maybe we underestimated their size….but we are reminded that He that is in us is greater and we carry the victor’s sword! RUA! Please continue to pray for us!
