Tonight I am celebrating. The paint is complete, and the car is gorgeous! There is still a lot of work to do, but tonight I feel affirmed. I have been truly blessed.
The significance of this milestone is still sinking in. This seems like a totally different car than the one I brought it home 16 months ago...
In some significant ways, it is a different car. I am also a different man than the boy who abandoned this car 40 years ago.
I will begin assembly tomorrow, but tonight I will stop and bask in the radiance of God's grace. I see the object of my shame being redeemed, turned into something glorious, right before my eyes! That's worth taking some time to ponder and reflect.
Wow Rick, the car looks outstanding! Patience is something I need to work on as well but isn't it nice when it all pays off in the end? I am truly amazed that the car has come along so far in only 16 months. Unfortunately I think mine may take a little longer than that to get back on the road. Congrats on reaching this milestone, I can't wait to see it in person.
