Needing God's Favor

We are planning an addition of bible study rooms to the church which is very exciting, especially for the children and youth because they don't really have much space. God is soverign and in control and we're having to remind ourselves of this quite frequently! He has provided a Christian builder's group from Alabama to come this summer to provide all the labor and we are in the process of arranging housing for this group. I am excited that we know several of the people who are in this group that may be coming.
To build an addition in the state of Colorado is like maze. I can't begin to understand what all it entails but have heard that CO does not make it easy to just build. We were told in the beginning that approval for the building would only take 3 to 4 months by the Planning Commission. Last week, they relented on that and said it could take 12+ months. Of course our flesh wants to "freak" out about this but we must rely on the supernatural power of our Lord God Almighty! We ask that you join with us in asking for God's favor and provision in EVERY step in this process. We are currently collecting names of every one involved at all the different agencies so we can pray for them specifically, asking that they do what they can do to get all of our paperwork processed in time for the Alabama group to arrive on June 19th. Our GOD is bigger than all these hoops we are having to jump through and we will trust in HIM!
I am sharing this with you to covet your prayers and to report in the future how God's hands move in this situation. TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOR ALL THE THINGS HE HAS DONE (and will do!)!!!!
