We're up to Phase #19 or whatever it is. The final phase of building and house restructuring - the Kitchen. This is posted here for two reasons:

1] I want to pay tribute to my dear wife who is patient beyond words and has been so godly in waiting for this. It was going to be the first thing we did when we first moved in three years ago. It has turned out to be the last. The kitchen is one of my wife's major ministry tools. She has worked so hard all this time (doing household church with all its emphasis on hospitality) with a seriously substandard kitchen. So thanks Ju for waiting for God's kind provision, which brings me onto my second point...
2] God is good always. But sometimes he just shocks you with seriously gracious provision. We didn't know how we were going to pay for all this. Suddenly, in one morning, it is all there. God's goodness through his people. Praise God, Jehovah Jireh!

Make that three reasons...
3] It gives me the chance to thank all those who are having us round for meals- the whole Stovell clan- often with our guests in tow and our personal videographer making her documentary of Stovell life. So thanks guys for feeding us and opening your homes to us!
