So, here is the proud owner of a brand new house in Pass Christian, Mississippi. We first saw her house last Monday morning: it was framed in and weathered, but just studs throughout the house.When we finished on Thursday evening, we had installed insulation throughout, and completed the drywall (aside from the bathrooms -- they still needed some plumbing - anyone know a good plumber?).
A ton of work - and lot's of fun!
And on the last day, we brought Sarah, her daughter and mother up into their new house, so they could see how it's coming along.
We prayed together, that God would give them great family time together, and that laughter would fill the hallways and that God's spirit would be a comforting presence.
After prayer, there is Sarah, crying.
You know, when people are hit with such hardship, they in turn often get hardened themselves: they feel that no one cares, and they begin to focus on what is wrong...
And then you pray. And God's Spirit speaks -- and hearts melt!
We worked hard -- I mean hard! And in turn, we received an amazing gift: front row seats to seeing Sarah touched by God himself! And she felt God's love! And up close, we got a chance to view someone very thankful and overwhelmed! That's cool!
Thanks God, for using us!

Well that is your passion, your not afraid to tackle the ulgiest of things, cause you know at the end of it there is some amazing things that come from it. I thought at trip 2 you were going to move on, but not.. DO I hear a TRIP 4.... Yes it could have still gone on without you but I dont believe it would have gone as well had you not gone.
