Rooftop

I just spent the last hour on the rooftop of Ebenezers. Don't tell our contractors :)

What a view! What a feeling! It's the first time I've been up there. I felt this flood of emotions--gratitude, excitement, nostalgia. The dream is becoming reality. And it's making me hungrier to believe God for even bigger things! Ebenezers is feeding my faith. It's the only way I can describe it. It was a ridiculous idea eight years ago. Not anymore!!!

I love to pray on top of things :) Verticality helps me put everything in perspective. I think there is a biblical precedent. Jesus prayed on mountaintops. And as I was praying, I couldn't help but think of Peter praying on the rooftop of Simon the Tanner's house in the book of Acts.

By the way, one of my ideas (not necessarily a God idea) was to put a hot tub up there :) Be a cool place to do baptisms!

When I was in DC in March there was just a big hole in the ground.
Now you are on the roof! The view from the rooftop is always better, and a hot-tub with a view would be spectacular!

It looks like my roof top days are over since my daughter gave me orders to stay off the roof. The view of the lake is great from there....
