Déjà Vu

The Akron Borough Planning Commission meeting which was scheduled for tonight, December 1st, has been cancelled. I know that feels like déjà vu to you as it does to us, especially since we just had to cancel our appearance at the November 22nd Borough Work Session. All of this has been very difficult and unpredictable. We are coming down to the end, the decision from Council on whether or not they will approve our Land Development Plan. In the final moments it seems some unexpected things are coming up.

The H*VMI Team did meet with Akron Borough Staff this morning in anticipation of the Planning Commission meeting scheduled for tonight – the one now cancelled. In that discussion H*VMI was asked for additional details  and the bottom line of the matter is that, based on new information learned in that discussion, H*VMI feels we must go through this final step before requesting a decision from the Council on the approval of our Plan. This means we will delay action on our plan until January. We will communicate more details as we have them.

I’ll share some verses that are encouraging me especially at this time. They were shared with me earlier today by an H*VMI Board Member in response to the news of today’s change:

Lamentations 3:25-26

The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.
It is good that one should hope and wait quietly
For the salvation of the Lord.

 Keep Praying God is still working! Just because we don’t understand it doesn’t mean He isn’t at work!
