Joyful, somber, awed, grateful, and most of all hopeful.
Proud.
Excited, hopeful, nerve racked, proud, amazed.
Now comes the hard part.
Relieved. Hopeful. Expectant.
Thanks for sending so much great information re: Environmental Ministry. Our church is in the midst of some huge changes - we bought an existing building and will soon be putting up walls and finishing it (it's basically just a shell right now so there are tons of opportunities for making green choices for the interior.)
And yes, you see echinacea in the background of our little wood pile. I can't wait to work more on our permaculture landscape plan this winter in preparation for next spring --- we have so much to do!
