Blessed With Rain In Mexico

You know, life would be so much simpler if people would trust God and His far superior plan. I think those of us who went to Mexico really experienced that...with all the crazy things that happened during our week and a few days there,God really did meet our needs. I don't think I heard anyone say "I am so worried about such and such or so and so or something something" the whole time there. It's possible anyone could have been thinking it..but that is beyond my point... We all kinda sorta set back and let God do His work. Like at the end of Thursdays work with the Pole Crew,we thought that there would be no way of finishing up the rest of the poles because the ground was so hard. Later that night as we are playing Mafia in the Commons,here comes this massive torrential down pour of rain that lasted for twenty minutes or so with lightening and thunder which turned off the power for several minutes only to return to normal. The next day we put the auger in the ground and it made the hole pretty easily...so we do the next one,and the next one and the next one until we were done with holes for the fence.(Then we had a quest for concrete,its a very long and some what lengthy ordeal so I will not go into it,I'll just tell you we got what needed for it). Holes plus gravel plus pole plus concrete equaled the completion of the basic structure of our fence. Then we all kinda marveled at what had happened. Here is the miraculous thing about the rain we got,in Mexico it isn't supposed to be the rainy time,its supposed to be very dry and hot. It rained almost every other day from a small portion,to enough to make a few puddles. Each time we got rain,it helped soften the ground we were working with.
Dios de veras bendiga nosotras
(forgive the Spanish if you know how to read it and it is incorrect..it is supposed to say" God really blessed us")

I'mmmm BACKKKK!!!

So ya I am back from Mexico...just thought I let you guys know.... I'll probably type some random stuff later in the week about the trip or something...

E-Trip

Your Glorious Cause O God,
Engages Our Hearts,
May Jesus Christ Be Known,
Wherever We Are,
We Ask Not For Ourselves,
But For Your Renown,
The Cross Has Saved Us,
So We Pray,
Your Kingdom Come

Let your kingdom come,
Let your will be done,
So that everyone might know your Name,
Let Your song be heard everywhere on earth,
Till Your sovereign work on earth is done,
Let your kingdom come

Give Us Your Strength O God,
And Courage To Speak
Perform Your Wondrous Deeds,
Through Those Who Are Weak,
Lord Use Us As You Want,
Whatever The Test,
By Grace We'll Preach Your Gospel,
Till Our Dying Breath.

During this week please pray for the group of us who are going to Mexico.
Pray for strength,refreshedness daily,selfless willingness to serve and glorify God

The Complex Infrastructure Known As The Male Mind

I should know by now,that all boys act a good deal alike when it comes to eating out with other boys
First,after eating their meal one boy will put pepper or some other foreign object in one of his buddy's drink.
Then ensues "science" of putting sugar,sweet & low,ketchup,salt and pepper and various other objects of things not belonging in a drink
Of course after their wonderful concoction one dares another to drink it
Of course,being all manly,the daree must accept.
Taking of course several berated breaths and hoping that the group is leaving soon before having to actually do such feat.
After a few minutes this ill fated fellow lifts the glass takes a sip....
and shovels the ice cream into his mouth,hoping to get rid of the vile taste.
While his good friends are laughing their heads off and asking "Does it taste bad ?".

I...CAN'T...SLEEP!!!

I guess I am over excited about the E-Trip that is coming up,
thus making sleeping difficult.
I think I clocked it to tossing and turning for twenty to thirty minutes.
Then falling asleep for thirty minutes to an hour or two and waking up again only to start the process all over again.
It will be interesting on Sunday night how much sleep I 'll be getting....
