As I sat in front of the heater trying get worm and do school at the same time my mind kept traveling back to the second week of June last summer. Me and my three older sisters went to Bossier City Louisiana on a mission trip with Carpenters For CHRIST. As my fingers felt like ice I could remember us all getting SO HOT! It is amazing to be able to look back and see all that GOD helped a small handful of people do! When we got there on Friday we were going to do the venal siding and that would take us all week because the building was HUGE!!!!!
Well, as you can see in the pic below, Doodle Bug and LM were getting the windows ready for us to put the siding on.
Here we are putting the siding on the siding and we thought that was all we get too do but GOD had other plans!!

On Saturday when we started working, the guy in pic below "Fall" is his nick name asked our uncle, who was in charge, when we could start on the roof? Our uncle responded saying that we were not going to do the roof because we would not have time. Well, having had the siding done, permission was granted to start on the roof which was finisded Wednesday evening around 7:30!Our GOD is AMAZING!
But GOD did not cease to amaze us with that! It would get to hot during the day to work on the roof so up went the sheet rock!!!! Even though we are extremely tired when we get home, we are full joy, peace and on fire for the LORD! Have you ever taken a 15 min. brake and drank a whole bottle of water, maybe even 2 and felt as though you had taken a 3 hour nap? That is one of the most AMAZING feelings in the world! 
Thank you LORD for giving us such an awesome opportunity to serve you!
It is WONDERFUL !!!
Everyone should go on a Carpenters for CHRIST trip!
We can all be like a kid again sometimes! Even Boss!

Seeing this pics makes me remember those days and the joy that OUR GOD blessed us with. It was a gift from God to be able to work for HIS greater good. Thank you for the reminder that "we" should do it all for HIM!!!!!!!!!

What a great thing to be thinking about in February! It's gray outside, but the love of the Lord is in your heart! Always remember that God can and WILL do awesome things through an obedient and willing heart like yours.
I love you!

This was a great post!
How encouraging you are...we SHOULD be thinking of what we can do for the Lord, and how awesome the Lord is towards us...those are great things on which to meditate.
