The Air in the Night

I stand in awe tonight/ this morning as (12:30 am) as I listen to the rain. Some might believe in coincidences but not me. I don’t believe that it just happened that Tuesday we decided to tear off the old roof (after waiting almost a month)to build a new one and after four days of work with no rain and a few delays it started just as we were finishing. It wouldn’t have been the end of the world if it would have started raining Wednesday. We have dealt with plenty of inconveniences before and I’m sure we will again. It isn’t just the fact that this time it went our way that I am encouraged, though it sure does help. It is because even with this project going over three days, my projected work time and weather window I had a peace that transcended the threat of rain and the delays. As we got closer to the end of the project we noticed that our roofing materials, which had been stacked up waiting to be used for over a month because of rain and threat of rain began to fall apart. Even though I knew that we were going to run short I wasn’t worried we just dealt with it. We found some of the old that was good enough still to be used and made it work. My perfectionist personality makes situations like that usually unbearable for me and others but I had peace over that too. It’s times like these that encourage me to keep on going for I know without a doubt that God has a plan even if it isn’t mine. Thank you for all the prayers and love as we navigate this crazy journey called life together!
