Construction continues, and God continues to provide.
The only thing lacking were rooms for families...and storage!
God had led us in amazing ways in the past two years, and we were just about finished with Phase III. Guestrooms and storage were the last item before we could move on to Phase IV sometime in the future.
It's evolving!
What was originally to be a storage area utilizing an old truck container started evolving as the vision expanded. It went from a container storage to an extended container storage to a two story guesthouse/storage unit...and beyond! (You can still see the last of the container before it is covered here.)
Slowly the building began to take shape...and to continue to evolve.
At this stage, the building still did not have stairs going up to the second floor. It was still evolving.
Now it's huge...and started with NO MONEY!
It was supposed to be just a small little storage project, but the possibilities were as endless as our imaginations would take us!
And before it is over, a new wing and covered picnic area are added.
The stairs naturally evolved into an additional room and additional storage below, but the roof around the building was added first to control erosion!
The end result was absolutely beautiful.
The result of lots of hard work and some VERY creative thinking. It was FUN!
One of the guestrooms is actually a Japanese style tatami room!
Perfect for our more traditional guests who arrive as a couple or a family, the straw mat floors serve as bedding as well as living space.
And this is the view from the window of the Tatami room!
The bridge leads over our creek, and to the lighted baseball/soccer field and tennis courts. They are run by the government, and it is a beautiful park, too, right next to the campground. GOD IS GOOD!
