Day 6 - Learning to be more like Jesus

So I keep asking God to make me more like Jesus, yet carpentry isn’t exactly what I had in mind. Thomas, Kim and I set out to build a set of bleachers for the kid’s soccer field. Nothing fancy, just 6 steps, about 6 feet wide made out of scrap wood. We worked on it for 9 hours over 2 days and faced all sorts of obstacles, between broken bits, accidentally splitting pieces, and having only flat head screws to deal with, it was a seriously frustrating project. We were at our wits end and finally decided maybe we should pray about it, so we did. We apologized to God for not coming to Him sooner, and confesed our need for His guidance and patience and wisdom. I kid you not, we were able to put up the last 45% of the project in about 20 minutes after that. Everything just flowed together and the obstacles miraculously disappeared. It’s funny how as humans we naturally rely on ourselves to solve problems and work things out, despite having the God of the universe on our side! It’s sad that we only finally go to Him when all of our own resources are tapped out. He’s teaching us to go to Him first, with joy, thanksgiving, and lots of faith.

Day 5 - His strength is made perfect in my weakness.

We are seeing God move in big ways through our weaknesses here. I was able to overcome my fear of public speaking and lead a prayer before a camp-wide bonfire, and i know it was God cause its something I would never have been able to do. We also got to share dinner with the families today and spend individualized time with the kids at the ranch. It was amazing to see the love they share and the joy and peace that is felt in the homes. Please pray for the missionary house parents who have sacrificed much to follow the calling of raising these wonderful children. Pray they continue to be filled with the Holy Spirit and their strength and patience be multiplied.
