The Spice of Life

April 6, 2010 by MarkH.

Oh, Mosey Mondays. What seemed to be a sluggish transition from logistics in the morning into the mid-afternoon of the work day actually turned out to be quite inspiring through faith and various construction projects on each of our respective homes. Many of us were visited today by the enthusiastic homeowners who were overjoyed with the sight of us beginning our day, even if we were just laying the plans down before the actual work was initiated.

With a handful of mistakes and re-do’s, we waited patiently for God’s will to guide us in our efforts with these projects, hoping that the Bible verse we personally choose would hold true. “Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other” (Romans 12:12:3-5)

And just as we had so earnestly hoped for – God provided. By the time Susan and Dave had fleshed out the details at our worksites, we were humming along at full speed. Our work crew had really come together as one. We had figured out what exactly we needed to complete throughout this week and what tools to use for those jobs.

Falling right back into line, we progressed throughout our day swimmingly and worked right past the time in which we needed to close up shop and head back to Aldersgate UMC. Ready to work bright and early tomorrow at that too! We all savored the showers and AC as soon as we got back and proceeded to ready ourselves for a Tex-Mex fiesta!

As we assume our usual nightly activities, we caravanned to Wal-Mart and Sonic respectively and purchased various assorted items at Wal-Mart as well as deliciously-nourishing slushie’s along the way. We ended our evening with a P.M. devotion, tired and ready for another day’s work early tomorrow morning.
