IT'S BROKE!

The GROUND, that is.  It's broken now.  Confession: I don't really look forward to things like Groundbreaking Ceremonies.  I'm not really big on ceremonies.  Just build the building and when it's finished give me my own key and I'm good.  Not really big on the pomp and circumstance part.

However, yesterday was special.  It was exciting to see what God had done.  It was inspiring to recall again all that God had orchestrated to bring us to that point.  It was moving to see how much it meant to every person.  It was a GOOD DAY.

We need those moments.  We need to pause and reflect and give glory to God.  We need to put a shovel in the ground and recognize the elders who lead us and the Building Team who has worked so long and hard and faithfully to bring us to this point.  And we needed to see all those children digging and breaking "their own" ground.  On the trip there, one of my grandsons asked Susan, "Yaya, are we going to get to help build today?"  She wasn't sure what to tell him.  But, when we invited all the children to come forward and break ground with their own shovels, her heart just leapt.  Those children were so excited, just to turn a shovel of dirt.  But, now they continue to be a part of building a building and building a church to His glory.

It was NOT a waste of time.  It was a GREAT DAY!
