"But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31   (NKJV)

We fought the wind and blowing dirt this weekend, but got all but a few of the very top pieces nailed down. We had really hoped and planned to be done with the metal, but Daniel just kept nailing and nailing and nailing some more and even had help from our great neighbor to put up the cross boards on the sides while I was at work Saturday morning. Here's our progress Sat evening:

And what we did all day Sunday (except this was a pic from last weekend when we first started the roof):

And Levi helping out with his new wheelbarrow:

Now the progress on the house...it's going up fast despite all the things they are having to fix and do over.

I will definitely say we are building more than a house and barn. It's taken so long to get here, and we've walked uphill much of the way. We've hoped for this day, and now we are building memories that will last a lifetime, one nail and board at a time.

      "And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God  has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." Romans 5: 3-5 (NKJV)

Praise God and to Him be the glory!
