**Progress and Setbacks: A Glimpse Behind the Walls**
Today, the team began their home repair projects with enthusiasm and purpose. As with many renovation efforts, we quickly learned that what appears to be a small issue on the surface can often be just the tip of the iceberg, revealing much deeper problems hidden behind walls and beneath floors. It’s a reminder that sometimes we must dig a little deeper to truly understand the extent of what needs healing.
In the kitchen, as our team worked to replace the flooring and countertops, they uncovered the unfortunate truth: several floor and rim joists had been severely damaged by flooding and termites, and are now in need of replacement. It’s a setback, and while it presents a challenge, we are holding onto the belief that this delay is part of a bigger plan.
In times like these, we are reminded that just as a house needs a strong foundation to withstand the storms, so too do we need a strong spiritual foundation to navigate life’s unexpected challenges. We trust that, with patience and perseverance, these repairs will not only restore the physical home but also strengthen our resolve and unity as a team.
We remain hopeful that this issue won’t derail our goal of completing all our tasks this week. Through faith and determination, we believe that we will overcome these obstacles and see the project through to completion—just as we trust in God’s timing and provision in all aspects of our lives.
