  • Weeks later....

         Okay...... it has been longer than a week.


             The week was going to Salina and getting to work on a multi-purpose building for our State Camp. My first trip there was in the 6th grade when the camp started.  It has grown since then. Many times I have attended there to learn many things.


             Then.......... I was working many hours as planned but then worked more than plan to try to help a person out on my only day off which ended up interesting as working straight through till my vacation instead of her paying me back the shift so I would have a day off. Yet, I was still able to leave the first day off in vacation but able to catch a few hours of sleep in Tulsa before continueing the trip down. I was able to rest, pray, and fellowship with my cousin Sheila.


             I left for a two week vacation which I used most of it to travel to New Orleans to volunteer again in rebuilding homes and finished it up with less than 48 hours in Tulsa, Okla.  for rest and then on to Independance, Kansas to help with a new church building with a volunteer team.


             First part of the vacation I was so tempted to go back home when I got a call from Jess to let me know there is water in the basement. So much rain had fallen in the area. Instead of leaving New Orleans to go home and take care of the issue, friends came to help Jess.  God even provided Jess the money to help due it by Jess finding $180.00 in change down there.  Again, God is amazing!!!!!!!


             With Xanga, I'm so far behind. Yet, life has been fascinating to see how God works. The week between the trips was time to make up as I switch out work time to be able to go and volunteer.  Sometimes, I just sleep when I get home to do basics to remain socially acceptable in cleanliness.  Yet, despite all God does amazing things!!! 


              God can bring people in our lives in just passing to encourage in so many ways. Yet, at the same time it is encouragement for the both of us at the same time. Praying to go back to New Orleans the first full week of August.  Why?  The people and to be a part of what God is doing down there as He is opening doors and changing lives!!!!

  • Why, helloooooooooo!  I do say you have been super busy. Whew! I'm tired out just by reading your post!! How neat that Jess found the $180 in change. Yes, our God is an awesome God. He IS faithful. God sees your faithfulness also in helping those who are less fortunate. It's so good to see you again. I was wondering today if you had quit Xanga or what!!!!!!!! May God bless you richly is my prayer. ~Carolyn

  • Yes, you have been busy!  I have family in Independence...they didn't get hurt by the recent flood, but one son and family had to evacuate their house.  They were concerned that they might not be able to get out if they didn't.  The water ended up coming to his yard, but not into it or his house.  What church there were you helping with?

    Blessings!
