For the last several months my family has been living in a construction zone.  We had to have a new roof installed and because of the damage from the old leaky one, our living space was impacted.

Drywall needed to be replaced and repaired, electrical outlets and lighting repaired, but then we had the bright idea to go ahead and make some much needed updates…

We’ve watched our share of home improvement shows, and while there are disruptions in the plans, problems are resolved and things are beautiful in less than an hour…. 

I probably don’t need to say it, but reality is very different…

It’s been months of noise, dust, inconvenience, disruption – and we are still not done! Somehow by God’s grace we have learned to live in this construction zone…

We successfully navigated the holidays and the New Year – it was weird and awkward but progress has been made and the work continues…

I was joking with our contractor about how most people make it through the challenges of home repairs and renovations, he offered this sage advice, “You just gotta do the best you can…”

I offer those words to you this morning – just do the best you can!

When it feels like you’re living in a construction zone, somewhere between already and not yet, surrounded by dust and noise – just do the best you can.  

Some days will be better than others and sometimes progress will seem to lag, but just do the best you can, hang in there, and in the words of my wife, ‘it’ll be worth it in the end…’

Living in a construction zone?

Do the best you can, and it will be worth it in the end!

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 

1 Corinthians 2:9

Good Morning, I love you all!
