Wacky Wednesday

Something weird usually happens on Wednesday to slow us down. The group is growing in faith, the projects are progressing, and God is smiling. So as soon as you let your guard down, the enemy is waiting to pounce. Throughout the day and night, there were some wacky happenings that could have derailed our team. As we were loading supplies on the bus, someone twisted an ankle and hobbled the rest of the day. At the job site, someone got hit by accident with a water bottle in the cheek. Last night, as I was preparing for the beach service, a table fell on my foot, leaving me limping all night. We also left key supplies back at the training center that slowed down our work all morning. But as soon as someone gets down, there are two others lifting us up, taking care of things, offering solutions, praying. Wednesday is also the day that we have our beach service, a very spiritual and emotional night. We offer up songs, testimonies, and prayers for almost two hours alone and with each other enjoying the beauty of His creation and the love and support from our friends. As we begin to prepare for our week's end, it's important that we all know that whenever things appear to be falling apart around you, the love of Jesus and the support of your brothers and sisters will help get you through. But even after the service, the enemy wasn't done. I lost my room key which totally distracted me during small group! Send some prayers that I find it. Would hate to waste $20 on the deposit.
