Camp Work day

We had a crew come to camp on the 18 and 19 to help hang some sheet rock. After making a trip to town to get some more supplies we were at last on our way. By the end of the first day the main ceiling in the boys dorm had been hung. The next day they started the girls dorm, putting up the 1x2 strips and then hanging the sheet rock. On the boys side we were able to get one of the angled ceilings done.

We still have a long way to go and we continue to push on. Thank you for all of your prayers and support in this matter.

God's teaching me patience

I had an appointment with the mechanic in town, so Andrew and I were up early and headed into town. We got there and dropped off the car and were told it would not be too long, so off we headed to the coffee shop to get a drink. We got our drinks and walked over to the park and Andrew enjoyed playing, until the wind came up and he started getting cold. By now it has been an hour and we head back to the shop, only to find that nothing had been done yet. Off we head again, looking at the stores down town, and just walking. So after three and a half hours we go back and I am told by the mechanic that "I tried a new bulb and it does not work still" which is what I had told them I had already done. Well it was their lunch time so off Andrew and I had to go again, so we went and found some lunch. At this point I call Sarah and let her know what is going on, and Andrew and I head back to the shop. Now the mechanic asks me what I would do. So I walk back there and explain my theory as to why it does not work. By this time I was tired of walking all over town with a little boy that was getting tired and cranky, so we called mommy to come and save us.

I did not make it out to camp to get more work done as I was stuck in town, but we did get a chance to share about camp a little.

Off to the shop again and finally the car is done, they found a little wiring issue up under the hood. Great part about this though is I did not have to pay. So I check to see where they found the problem and sure enough it was at the spot I had pointed out. They even fixed another spot so now I do not have too.

God is good and some times we can get so caught up in our timing of things, that we do not see God at work. I am one that will push to get something done until it is done, and God tells me at times not to worry. Have we forgotten that he is in control? I pray that when things do not go as planned, that you will take the time to thank God and see him at work.
