What do you say to taking chances? What do you say about
jumping off the edge when you never know if there is a solid ground below or a
hand to hold? What do you say?
This
month has been a jump off the edge for me because I haven’t known what was in
store for me. Would I have compassion?
Would my heart be burdened for these people? Would I do everything for the Glory of God? The Lord has stripped me of my
expectations and I have just begun this great work he has called me to.
“Tell me how am I
suppose to breathe with no air” “Can’t live, can’t breathe
with no air. No air, No air”
My
team and Judah have spent the last three weeks doing many different projects
but our biggest project was this library.
The library is located in the middle of the dump in PCF Community School. When it rained the library would
flood from the ground up. With
this project we had our hands full of moldy, dirty nasty books that these kids
could enjoy one day.
Although, it was hard to breathe because of the mildew, we hit this
project full force and without hesitation. Metaphorically, we fell and skinned our knees a couple of
times when our plans didn’t fit the Lord’s but we successfully organized this
library. We did this so these
children can learn things they can’t even imagine.
Working in the library has been a test of faith. We were reminded today that it is these
projects that show great character because its these jobs that know one wants
to do.
As I get ready to leave I cannot help but thank of these
little hands and feet that I have gotten to be with this last month.
“Oh be careful little eyes what you see. Oh be careful little eyes what you
see. For the Father up above is
looking down in love. Oh be
careful little eyes what you see.”
“Be careful little feet where you go. For it’s the little feet behind that
are sure to follow”
I don’t know all about these kid’s lives. I don’t know much about their world
they live in. But I do know that I
don’t want them to be alone and I am excited about carrying them in prayer.
