This week was yet another busy week, and with no large teams coming in, I worked on maintenance all week. We did everything from digging a trench for a new internet cable to building a Home of Hope. I especially liked working with Homes of Hope, because I not only got to witness a fairly good sized Haitian home go up in under a week, but I got to experience the culture, enjoy the people, and have a blast working with concrete! Okay, hanging out with the locals was my favorite. Even though I was constantly being asked if I had a wife, why not, and do you love her (by someone pointing to some unsuspecting girl sitting next to me!)?! It was good to practice the language, and to carry on a halfway decent conversation. It felt good.
Well, that is all the real news that I have to report this week, other than that, I am going to Port-au-Prince on Wednesday. Oh, and the US Air Force is here on base. YWAM St. Marc is hosting their medical clinic, that is reaching out to all Haitians, not just the earthquake victims! It is a bit strange to see US Military walking all around campus, but it is also really cool.
On the spiritual side this week, God has really been asking me to draw away with Him.... even more so, and to really take a deep look into my heart and life and see if I am really trusting God with everything. Or are there some hidden idols, something that I withhold from God, etc.... It is a time of drawing away and drawing near, and I am excited to see what God is going to do in this season of my life.
I ask now that you not only continue to pray for me, but ask that you take up this challenge too. Is God really in charge?, or are there still things that we withhold from Him, and place literally above God's sovereignty....our comfort? our hopes? our dreams (no matter how good, or godly, is this God's timing)?
Just something to think about. I know that I am guilty of trying to live comfortably and can even put my desire of financial security over my trust and knowledge of God's provision from time to time. Lord please forgive me for my lack of trust in you. I truly do want to trust you with everything. EVERYTHING. I want to live my life a human sacrifice. God help me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
