We Were Floored Today

As day two of mixing, shoveling, wheel-barrowing, and pouring concrete took place at the Church in Santa Alicia I was reminded of many things that relate to our lives.  #1- If God has asked you to do something and you feel completely under-qualified, do it anyway.  There will be others that have done it before you that you can watch and learn from, all he requires is effort and not expertise.  #2-  If you really understand what it takes to create something, you will be less likely to take it for granted or criticize it.  I'll never look at a concrete floor the same way and I wonder how I would look at people differently if I understood how and why they were made.  #3-  God will take you past your comfort zone because that is where all growth happens, but the view is amazing when you get there.  The wink God gave us this afternoon as we recovered from the most taxing physical labor I've ever experienced on a beautiful beach was a humbling moment.  As we look forward to what the next days hold you can rest assured that I'll be cashing in the promise of my favorite verse each day which is Proverbs 16:3 "Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established."
