Visible Progress

Today, I visited the building to see the progress, and I was amazed. Perhaps I should provide a little background. When we bought this building it was office space, and was actually divided into two separate office bays. A while later, we had a few work days, and a team removed the old walls, ceiling tile, and wiring. That makes it sound calm. They really ripped the guts out of the building in a few short hours.

I have been in the building a few times since then. It was really just a messy empty shell last time I was there just a few weeks ago. That is why I was amazed today. Most of the framing for walls is complete. Kim Palmer and Chuck Hooley were still at work doing some wall board installation. This building looks like a school today! What has only been a dream, then a drawing has real substance with three dimensions.

The Executive Director at OCA is Tim Thompson. He invited the employees at school to come for a tour today, so those who were available came to see. It was fun to see people respond to what has been accomplished.

The Bible says that faith is the substance of things hoped for (Hebrews 11:1). Until today, it was only through faith that we could see that this office building could be a home for OCA. Today, we could see the walls, and have our faith in Him rewarded with visible progress.
