Sometimes, waiting or sacrificing things is actually just opening the door for God to grant us the desires of our hearts in a spectacular way...

A Finished Project

This afternoon, we were summoned upstairs, with excitement, as Thomas had a special building project to share with us.


Thomas has been working on this K'Nex roller coaster since January...a gift from his Great Grandma Joan, he has slowly worked to put it together.  At first it was difficult, the pieces were quite small and it required a lot of focused attention on his part.  I have to say, this has been the first project that Thomas has not torn apart after it became too difficult... he stuck to it and he finished!


We watched as the roller coaster car zoomed and zipped around the 4 foot structure!  Very impressive for a seven year old little boy...  I can't wait to see what else our son can do when he puts his mind to it and perseveres... anything is possible!
