What a Day!

2/21 6:35 am , not sure what day of the week it is…

I do know it's raining.

Yesterday was FAT TUESDAY!!! What an amazing God Day!!!!

We got to work demoing another part of the building. And some of the guys worked on framing the inside.

We took a devotional break late in the morning and invited Father Pierre and Peter (a guy at the Niemiah treatment facility) to join us. Father Pierre taught us a gospel song they would sing as a church out on the streets to bring in God and remove all the prostitutes and drug dealers. They can 'gospel' way better than us. The enthusiasim!!!!

We had lunch shortly after that…and invited 'the guys' to join us. They slowly filtered in. I was so (I don't have a word)..??? working along side them.

This may explain it best….

As we were about to knock down a big wall Chris said...

"We put up walls and God tears them down!"…… AMEN!!!

Michelle injured her heel…and God took her around the neighborhood striking up conversation about her lame limp. So she met the neighbors….they were on the sidewalk in front of their house with large pots and gas burners…..then he showed the truck bed full of blue crab and crawfish on ice. She hijacked one of the crabs and awed the rest of the team from Wisconsin. The neighbors invited us over when it was done…..be sure and check out the pics of the fun…..we are invited back next year!! We could almost feel the heart of Jesus rejoicing….looking at us together like we did it everyday….what a welcoming open family…

Then….at about 3 'the guys' invited us into their dining hall for NO style hot dogs and hamburgers…..after lunch at 12, crawfish and crab at 1:30, we were starving at 3. Ha Ha….it was awesome. We thanked them by singing( and I use that word loosly)…the song Father Pierre had taught us. Earlier in the day I had gotten wind that the Niemiah gang also had a choir….I put the word out and before we knew it we were in the 'Living Word' Sanctuary with our own private concert with drums, mikes and a whole lot of NO worship!!! The smiles and pride on their faces was priceless….I think we all agreed it was a definite top highlight of the trip. We all can't wait to get back today and see what surprises God has planned today!!!!

The traffic was nuts, but we made it back in time to shower and go to dinner. Yes, we all ate. The pastor from Trinity spoke…talk about in a lesson of 'God will always provide!'….It was miracle after miracle…

When we get back ask one of us about…

"the $5 lady"

"God needs your truck."

Ect….
