Jena and I drove 15 hours from Savannah to Kansas City the day after Christmas to find a flooded basement. The weather in KC dropped below zero for several days while we were away and my attempt to drip the outside faucet was not enough to prevent a burst pipe and plenty of standing water. The next day we lost electricity to our home for 8 hours and Jena and Kaiden stayed in the dark while I drove to Hays, KS and back to bring home Justin, Sumer, Savannah and Samantha. Nuts.
Life at Shelterwood is back to full swing. The new Leadtime class of 29.5 arrived yesterday. 3 ladies and 2 young men. A huge blessing. We lost one guy resident over Christmas break and gained one with an intake on Tuesday. Concerning construction...the Guys Lodge is now complete and the Field House is on track for the end of February. Unfortunately we are unable to occupy the Guys Lodge until the pool is complete. It serves as a secondary fire suppression.
The diversity of God's Kingdom still amazes me. Today in chapel three of our residents led worship and one of our own (Larry) shared a powerful personal testimony of how God's love reaches through our broken and fallen lives. Apart from God we are nothing but through Him we are everything.
