it was not easy
some thought it would never happen
the odds were against them
but
God was with them
nehemiah was obedient
piece by piece
the walls were built
different parts
different people
some built
others protected
nehemiah prayed
so much can happen
knees callused
dreams judged
"wishful thinking"
but
God is with me
i do not always understand why
there is no reason for him to use me
i am just a guy
i am idealistic
i am a daydreamer
i am a crier
my chin quivers sometimes
i would rather sit in the presence
of a hundred children
of a hundred children
then dine with the president
nehemiah obeyed God
it took time but change happened
i have learned a lot from him
it has taken time but change is happening
the place i love with passion
is being rebuilt
it takes a lot of people
and prayer
Wow! New construction at camp? Also, just a note saying I'm following your blog now on my google reader. I read your wife's and she gave you a plug today so I found it! Very cool photos and poetry. Love it!
