"I waited patiently for the Lord, he inclined to me and heard my cry."  Psalm 40:1

For months now the Coats family has been playing a game of hurry up and wait.  They’ve waded through miles of paperwork and faced many disappointments over false starts.  Work finally began this week on their home—7 months after the tornado struck.  During those 7 months they have lived in a camper, a hotel and a very small mobile home.  They have been waiting and praying to get back to their land and into a new home.

On November 1^st the foundation for their home was formed and poured.  And today in a cold rain, two hardy souls from Mt. Tabor Presbyterian Church along with their pastor the Rev. Jack Cormack, placed the carry beam and began actually building the home!  Jack is the crew chief for this build and if you are interested in helping, check-out the side bar for his contact info.  The Rev. Susan McGhee, Executive Presbyter of the Presbytery of Ohio Valley came to meet the Coats family today and to cheer us all on.   We are very grateful to God for hearing our prayers and for making this day finally happen.
