Who do you see?

Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

So I ask myself "who do people see when they interact with me?" My goal is peace and the love of a saviour

Unity of peace

Ephesians 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

The images are not mine. One is a painting, the other a photograph. Both images are of the Wainiha River, which is a part of my everyday life here.

"My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is is made perfect in weakness"

"My Grace is sufficient for you, for my power is is made perfect in weakness" Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Cor 12:9-10

(When we are strong in abilities or resources, we are tempted to do God's work on our own, and that can lead to pride. When we are weak, allowing God to fill us with his power, then we are stronger than we could ever be on our own, God does not intend for us to seek to be weak, passive, or ineffective-life provides enough hindrances and setbacks without us creating them. When those obstacles come, we must depend on God. Only his power will make us effective for him and will help us do work that has lasting value.) {footnotes in sudy bible}

JULY 16th

This has been a real challenge to get the materials onsite, as the old dodge has been giving me fits and headaches. But by the grace of AKUA (God) I make it home everytime. Not going to brave Lihue until the Tacoma arrives

A LITTLE BIGGER

What a difference a week Makes. Lemon grass, tomatoes, and salad mix

Bathroom fixtures are up!

So where did the lid to the toilet go? I have no idea, somehow Leah lost the lid to the toilet, and finding the replacement is proving to be difficult. Any suggestions?



The bamboo motif matches the fixtures used on the sink

Monday 7/13/09

Almost cut my finger off on Sunday, so today Doug would not let me lift any materials. He got all the paint from under the house. We are trying to use salvaged and left over materials as much as we can. It's fun to see what he shows up with in the morning. Today it was the maple trim he put below the tile apron
