Enjoying the Stars, Anticipating the Sunrise

Mark and I can hardly believe what is on the horizon. It is like the most beautiful sunrise you've waited all night to see.  You know it is going to be spectacular because you see the sunset, spend time watching the stars.  You know that all you are watching, all you are witnessing is going to change once that big, orange  cylinder shimmies it's way up.  Life is being set in motion for that moment the sun is seen.

We feel that way.  Over the past 2 months as we've been raising money for the GATEWAY PROJECT, we sense the excitement on how huge the impact will be for the village of Buena Vista.  Whether we are talking with local doctors about hosting clinics in the building, or talking to teachers about after school enrichment classes, neighbors about grass to run and play on for free, students who will have access to computers and books, God's Word being read and spoken; lived and modeled, specialists coming in to teach deaf children, families being fed and taught proper nutrition and hygiene, workers being employed, bellies being full, it all is just ginormously,
                                              HUGE                                          


The days have been good.  We've seen samplings of what tomorrow brings.  We are looking at the stars and dreaming.  We are anticipating the new day knowing it is going to be beautiful, but enjoying the stars no matter how far away they may seem to us, they are not out of God's reach.
Won't you dream with us?
