So this past week I got the pleasure of doing construction work for 3 days. I honestly loved it!! It was a great way to get out a lot. Plus who doesn't like to take a sludge hammer to a wall?? I mean it can be really fun! We had a group of 5 guys and me taking off metal shingles from the roof of the building, then we had to take off all of the cross beams. After we had to roof completely gone we had to move everything out of the building. I feel like my arms are getting way stronger now. We then got the pleasure of taking a sludge hammer to all of the inside walls. It was so freeing to knock down wall by wall.
In that there was a huge lesson for me. I had been trying to give up things to God but for some reason I just didn't feel like it was all gone. I mean how hard can it be to just be like "Hey God here are my problems, please take them"? But really it is a bit harder than that. I am trying to let go of things in the past that I didn't realize had a huge impact on me now. As I was taking the hammer to the roof, and the walls I could feel the weight of it all going away. I now feel like it is all gone. It isn't bugging me every moment like it was before. The devil is slowly losing his grip on things in my life. It feels so good to feel free! I love how the physical release of it all. I am so greatful for the few days I had to get rid of it all while working.
The next few weeks have me excited to see what God will do in all of our lives. I can see the squad all coming together and dealing with a lot of things. I am so excited to see the growth of everyone. I see the potential of every single person here. It is just so exciting to be in a group of people like this. It is so hard to explain. But I thank God every day for this amazing opportunity!
