The night is ending.

When the Storms come.
It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.
Isaiah 4:6
It was my birthday, I was turning 40. That night I was putting the last of the siding up on the barn.
A storm came over the fields with quite a punch as the sun set.
As I screwed in the last piece of wood separating the inside from the outside, the wind became deafening.
It was too late to run inside the house for shelter. It was a little scary I admit. We built this place with our own two hands and only using three tools.
It was about to be tested...
I sat down on the floor against the Northwest wall of the barn which is what the wind was hitting the hardest. I could feel the wall swaying slightly with every gust. I could hear the cracks and groans of the poles as they were being tested.
I just sat there talking with God.
I was nervous.
But, he had us build this place for a reason. I trusted that he had me use all screws and no nails for a reason. I trusted that he had me do extra stuff that was code for structures built right on the water that weren’t “needed.” I trusted that he had us put every board in its place for a reason.
In short, I finished that heart to heart with these words.
I Trust You Lord.
It’s weathered many storms since that night in the past 9 years. God willing, it will weather many more.
When a storm comes. I feel safer in here than anywhere else. Working on crosses for Him.
Hope in the Lord.
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. Romans 5:3

Hang in there.
I know it’s not easy waiting on God to reveal His plans for life.
Please, hang in there a little longer. His timing is perfect.
Peace Officer Memorial
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation that designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day.
This is a time dedicated to remembering those who lost their lives in the line of duty. 💙
God bless those bravest of souls, who answered that call.

“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”
If not for today. Would the world even know what a cross is? #goodfriday
