Hello everyone!
Welcome to any first time readers, and thank you to everyone following along!
After two weekends of work up on the scaffolding, we have successfully installed all the rafters for our ceiling. While it took a bit of effort, everything sailed along rather smoothly.
Normally, at the end of a productive period of work, it is customary to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment while viewing the results. While I am pleased with our progress, I feel less and less like I can take any credit for what we have done.
True, I am a clever fellow with a moderate amount of experience in several areas. This project, however, is the biggest feat of construction on several levels that I have ever attempted. So when things just seem to fall into place, I know better than to chalk it up to ingenuity or sheer luck.
All my successes belong to the Lord GOD Most High, and they are his gifts to me. I am humbled, more than anything, to see how he is guiding me on this journey. He has kept us both safe, during unexpected moments. He has shown me the way to assemble everything so that it yields the desired result, and is structurally sound. Every time I’ve felt like I didn’t know what to do, he has led the way. I am forever grateful to be his servant, and offer him all the praise, honor, and glory for what he has blessed us with. Especially the fact that we are returning to the land I grew up on, to try and give back to it what God desires.
So without the usual technical play by play, here are some pictures of the process and results for illustration.
Recently, as we come and go from the farm, we have started to see more and more deer. Of note, was a young doe that seemed to be as curious about us as we were about her. She seemed to not be very skittish and would watch us intently as we slowly drove past. It seems the deer feel safe in our area because we are surrounded by private property, and no one in the area hunts (at least to my knowledge). So the deer have adopted the area as a refuge. Such amazing, beautiful, and gentle creatures they are, and we are honored they feel safe enough to share our space.
GOD is good.
All the time.
And all the time GOD is good!
As always, thanks for reading and GOD BLESS!!
