A different view than before, w/ a teaser at the end

It has been a different experience for me this time on the mission trip. Being in a leadership role I have noticed my perspective change on alot of things.

I am feeling more at ease with the projects. There just is not that sense of urgency now. I have a different focus.

I am no longer worried about getting something done. I am more focused on the relationships.

I have mentioned this before and I will say it is no different this time.

"My favorite thing to do is witness God (Father,Son, and Holy Spirit) working in the lives of all involved in the mission."

It is not a thing of trying to prove that He exists. It is a blessing to me that I get to give God thanks and praise for allowing me to see it and share what I saw with others.

Yesterday in the village Jeanneane said that she was feeling like she was just standing around and getting in the way when she was trying to help. I think you will see by the previous pictures that she has not been standing around, but really working her tail off.

But in my new perspective I felt the need to point out to her that it is not about the project it is about the process. They do not need us to build the houses for them. They could actually do it faster if we were not in there way. No, why we are here is to establish a relationship with them and let them see Christ working in us and want that for themselves.

I feel a presence of Christ here and he has been here before I came and He will be here after I leave. I just need to be sensitive to his nudging to be in his will and to share his love.

Fore God is so wonderful and mighty that he can take the feeble attempts and blunders of a fallen man like me and turn them into beautiful moments for the Kingdom.

Thank you Lord this day

I have good news, but I am teasing you now. I want to share this with you tonight.

In Christ's name I pray for this day, that He will be glorified.
Amen
