I feel like I’m getting a lesson in servanthood this week. We’ve got a group of twenty guys doing an extreme office makeover at 205 F Street. We’ll move our offices down there in a couple of weeks. These guys are like energizer bunnies. They get up at 5 AM and go till 6 PM. It honestly reminds me of the way the Israelites rebuilt the wall in the book of Nehemiah. It says they were up before dawn and working past dusk.

I feel so incredibly blessed to have them here! They are exposing brick and gutting bathrooms and installing lights and laying tile. But part of the blessing is that they are from my home church. A lot of the guys knew me when I was a teenager. I’m absolutely blown away by their skills and their spirit.

One of the things I love most about the renovation is the wall that abuts the coffeehouse downstairs. We exposed the brick so it’ll look pretty cool. That is the wall we used to lay hands on asking God to give us the adjacent building. And He did. I feel like that is my prayer wall. It symbolizes God’s faithfulness! When ever I look at that wall I’m reminded of the way God answers impossible prayers.
