We are in full swing on getting the house fixed back up and ready for us to live in. The floor guys started today and will be doing more work tomorrow. Our bedrooms are done being painted with a few touch ups in Chris and I's room left to do. The kitchen floor will go down this weekend along with more painting. I've been putting in a lot of time at the house this week. It will be good to see it all come together. We are on schedule to move in on Friday August 3rd and Saturday August 4th!
This week was also the KP basketball camp. Both Jackson and Anissa participated and I was one of the counselors. What a great way for us to get to know some others from the neighborhood. It was also heart breaking for me to see the hurt that you could see in some of the kids. I got the chance to speak with a couple of the boys in my group on a personal level and hopefully I will be able to continue to build those relationships.
I will admit that last night as I was driving back to Bremen I broke down crying about something that happened last night at camp. I cried out to God for once again confirming that this is where we are suppose to be! I also praised God for sending me to be an encouragement to these kids and the neighborhood.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
New International Version (NIV)
I'm going to leave you with some pictures of our new house and some of the work that has/is being done.
The Front of the house.
The back of the house.

Master bedroom's floor. It will look the same as a basketball court when done!
Repair work on the floor.
In all that we do we seek to Glorify Christ first and foremost!
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands. Psalm 63:3-4
Well said, dear:)
