WOW

Wow!!! Those words seem to be the best way to describe how I feel. For the last five years we have been working to get into our new facility. We have been turned down by banks, gone through different plans and contractors, but yesterday we finally made it. I still dont't feel like it has all sank in. I don't know what it will be like to not be in talks with the bank or lawyers. That has been so much of my life for so long. It really felt at times like I would never see this day, but September 6, 2009 will be our first Sunday in our new sanctuary. So many have made sacrifices to get us here. Many have given money, others have given countless hours and time away from family. I cannot express how thankful I am to them all. This is not just a dream come true for me, but for all of the Friendship family. I just want to thank God for hearing our prayers and seeing our needs. May He now give us the grace to be who He wants us to be in our area. We may have a building, but I still desire God's presence above all things. God bless and have a wonderful weekend.
