We left it better than we found it. ā¤ļø
The first picture is where we started.
The second is how we left it.
And whewā¦thereās a whole testimony in between those two pictures.
When we first walked into this space, it required more than a little imagination. š But we had a vision, we prayed over it, rolled up our sleeves and went to work.
Six years later, the building is empty, the keys have been returned, and our assignment in this space is complete.
I have no idea what will happen to everything we built from hereā¦and thatās okay. What happens next isnāt mine to carry.
What I can say is that while it was entrusted to us, we loved it, cared for it, invested in it and did our best to leave something better than what was handed to us.
And for that, I give God all the glory. šš¾
He provided. He opened doors. He sent people to help. He gave us opportunities I never could have created on my own. And He allowed us to take an empty, broken down space and fill it with life, laughter, celebrations, lessons, friendships and so many memories.
To my family, my team, our customers and this communityā¦thank you for putting your hands to the work with me. What happened inside these walls was never mine alone.
Thereās something about Nehemiah that hits a little differently for me now. He saw what needed rebuilding, trusted God, and got to work.
āLet us arise and build.ā So they put their hands to the good work.
~Nehemiah 2:18 NASB1995
And thatās exactly what we did.
We built. We served. We loved. And when it was time to leave, we left it better than we found it.
I pray we stewarded this chapter well.
Now, on to whatever God has next. ā¤ļø
