God is so good!

God has been reminding me over and over again that I cant do things with my own strength. There have been so many mishaps that have happened these past couple of weeks. Not just at the project, but with me spiritually lately. I have found it so hard to find a balance between work for God and God time. At worship lastnight the speaker, Randy Beggs shared his testimony. So often I try to have pity on myself for the times in my life when I have had troubles, but after hearing his testimony, God revealed to me how I was called out of the darkness and no matter what I do He still loves me. I mean, afterall, that is what grace is all about, right? God is so good to constantly bring conviction to my life and how I fail. I use to believe that conviction is a dreadful thing. But now that I am older, not just physically but also spiritually, I now know that conviction is a blessing. This may be a strange thing to ask for prayer about, but I want to ask you all to pray that God brings conviction to my heart and through that brings me closer to Him.

As for the project, everything is going well. It is so interesting to see the whole vibe that one group of students bring to the whole project. There is one group that make the whole project so different. Please pray for the crews as they go and work this week. Pray for safety on the sites as well as evangelism oppurtunities. I know as a young person I was very terrified about evangelism but there was always that one person that encouraged me. Pray for there to be that one person on every crew to be the encourager to the students.

I want you all to know how amazing the people that I have been working with this past week have been such a blessing. Not only have the projects gone smoothly but the relationships that I am building with the coordinators are great. It is such a cool thing to see that there are amazing godly people outside of the box that I get caught up in in Springfield. I wish that you all could meet all of these people. But maybe someday. Who knows. If not here then definitely in heaven. :)

Well, I need to get to work and then Im gonna go visit some job sites. Love you all!

p.s. If you want to hear a funny story about what happened to me last week, ask Daniel. Just ask him to tell you the story about the alarm. He will know what you are talking about.
