Job Duties

Thank you team for cooking nice hot delicious breakfast each and every day.  Thank you to all who helped prepare them gentlemen.  While breakfast was being prepped and prepared the girls were making sandwiches and Gatorade for their day ahead.  This team definitely took care of each other because they hardly ever returned with full coolers of liquids.  They stayed hydrated and worked together as a team.  All though this team came from the same church they all did not know each other but as the week progressed and they worked side by side they all had developed a new family unit.  This was actually shared one night during devotionals how we all came together from different backgrounds and became one in Christ for His Kingdom Work.  

Loading Up

While the ladies were busy making sandwiches and Gatorade down the bottom of the hill the gentlemen loading the truck daily.  Everyone pitched in to get the job done.   Mike never had to wait for someone to show up, they were normally waiting on him. Eddie was able to repair the block saw for Mike and cut block for him all week on the job site.  John was able to fix one of our lawnmowers for Mike.  This guys came on board ready to serve wherever they were needed.  They all used their gifts from God to help better the ministry here at Mount Horeb.  It takes us all to make this ministry run smoothly.  Russ and Scott were our quiet and willing servants who jumped in and you did not even know they were there.  This group of men worked hard for their God first and then their team leader, Ray.  Ray lead by example and it showed throughout this entire week. Also team member John shared in the second night of devotional how we cannot serve Him well unless we are grounded in His Word.  We need to know His Word in our hearts and in our actions.  We were challenged to find time to read God's Word daily in Honduras and once we get back home.  Take time for the most important food you could ever digest into your being, God's Word.

Welcome to El Limonal

Friday morning this new team from Catalyst Church out of Jacksonville arrive at to a community where there is very little physical possession but a whole lot of community and a whole lot of Jesus' love flowing through those dirt paths of El Limonal. We passed by families who need homes just like Ana but find out as the week progressed they came to help Ana get her home and everyone was willing and wanting to help a family member or a neighbor get her own home.  As those blocks are ready to make a home this team coming in was ready as well.  They prayed, prepared and planned for these eight days months ago.  As their week was about to unfold you could see how well they had prepared themselves for this week God has chosen them for in Honduras.  God knew full well before we were even born these people would become a family this week and Ana would be blessed to have them come serve beside her.  What an amazing week we are getting ready to enter into, to God be the glory, to God be the glory!!!!!

Waiting for Ana to Pray

The team was ready to pray up their week and introduce themselves but Ana went to clean up from cooking breakfast.  So team did not waste any of their time.  Russ saw the need to go help one of the Hondurans bring water from somewhere else and put in the blue drums.  The ladies helped Joey Eddie move the blocks so he could cut them.  They needed to move 160 blocks to be cut for the first day.  Mike was grateful for Ray and Joey Eddie who had committed to cut the blocks. John watched Pastor Carlos and he learned how to set the four corners.  Everyone pitched in to help get their day up and running.  This team was very good stewards of their time while here in Honduras.  They truly appreciated their gift from God, a mission trip to Honduras.

Our LIves Just Changed Forever

As Ana approached the team along with her two children, Alberto age 12 and Genesis age 7 everyone was eagerly and enthusiastically ready to meet the family they had prayed over for many months.  Now there was a face with their names.  There was breath with a body, a real live human being who is in need of a little help to get their life going in a positive direction.  Natividad, husband and father is ill and could not join us.  But this team always prayed for him throughout their week as if he was right there working beside them.  We let Ana know he was a very important part of this week even though he could not help.  John early on asked if they could pray with him each day.  And that is exactly what this team did before starting work each day they found Natividad and if he was able the team prayed over him.  He faired better when it was just the men as the ladies quickly figured out and they respected his feelings and did not want to do anything to make him become anxious which would make his condition worsen.  So after introductions we said our first pray of the week.

Four Corners

Pastor Carlos prepared the four corners with some eager to learn team members.  John, Taylor, Bailey, Ray and Tino helped Pastor Carlos set the four corners in place.  Russ also pitched in and laid out all Pastor Carlos needed to place the four corners up and level. Theresa was busy sweeping the dirt off the base preparing for the layer of mescal shortly.  There is so much to get done and every single jobs is so important in making this house into a home.  These young ladies, Taylor and Bailey have learned some new life skills to help them mature into some amazing godly young ladies.  Each task on this project is something new for us.  It is a way of doing something like we have not ever done before.  God loves teaches us if we are willing to learn.  I love the fact these young people and old alike get out of their boxes to learn new ways to serve their Lord.  Pastor Carlos learned the first day he had some special young ladies serving beside him this week.  They were eager to learn the Honduran way.

Praying Over First Block

After all the work mixing mescal, cutting blocks and sifting sand it was time to find Ana and her children to pray over her very first block.  Team member John prayed over the first block which God was preparing him for a week of numerous prayers for this family.  Everyone gathered around Ana, Alberto and Genesis placing hands on them and each other as John lifted up this first block to the Lord and thanking God for this privilege to be here this week with this family.  He prayed for Natividad's health and also for the safety of everyone helping with this construction of Ana's home.

Block 101

Mr. Mike gathered the very new team.  Ray and Mrs. Becky were the only return members.  So Mike had a captive audience as he taught the team how to lay block Honduran style.  I heard him tell them a thumbs width between each block and remember fill those joints between those blocks as if you were building your home.  Everyone caught on quickly and off they go building Ana's family their home.  Pastor Carlos was most impressed with the ladies of this team who worked as hard as the gentlemen did. Sometimes when a group of mainly women show up the Hondurans are not quiet sure how the week may go. But Catalyst church sent a group of hard working women with a group of men who worked just as hard as they did.  Blocks were going up and being cut and this first morning was right on schedule by their much needed lunch break.   Great first day family!!!!

Water Girl

Mrs. Becky who is our senior young lady on this team never skipped a beat.  She worked diligently for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  She was faithful in every task she attempted.  Pastor Carlos had to get her off the scaffolding the day it was time to climb on up.  She was not happy but she was obedient to Pastor Carlos.  She was very attentive to the physical needs of all the team and Honduran workers each and every day.  Such a sweet spirit this lady has and what godly example she was for the young ladies she was rooming with this week.  I am pretty sure these young ladies learned so many life lessons from Mrs. Becky this week and we are all forever grateful.  

Mixing Mescal

As we arrived and got the day started we realized we only had one Honduran helper to mix mescal. So some of the girls start sifting the sand and bringing over to the pile to mix the mescal.  Mr. Mike and Meida worked together to make the first batch as everyone, even our dear sweet Tino got dirty the first part of this day.  We were going to pick up someone from our campus to come help but Tino could not get there because of road problems. So Tino came back and when he did look what he came back to.  Lots of help came out of the wood works.

Alberto starting helping mix the mescal along with some neighborhood friends.  Slowly the process got started and their was a rhythm going around ten that morning. This did not slow the team down.  Scott learned how to mix the mescal as well and helped mix and haul the mescal to the boards as the ladies were laying those blocks .

Well why poor old Tino was working hard, Ana brought Pastor Carlos and Mike a great big hot cup of coffee to enjoy.  No worries later Tino got a cup as well, not quiet as large as the two bosses but it was some very good Honduran coffee.  Meanwhile Ray and Joey Eddie were busy cutting those special blocks the team needed for the day with the help of Mrs. Becky, Theresa and Alix.  Everyone was busy little bees about God's work.  Now mind you most of these folks are from the same church but some of them did not know each other until this week and a few meetings prior to coming.  It was beautiful to watch God at work unfolding what would be one special week for all of us. Especially Ana, Alberto, Natividad and Genesis.

There was a on going joke all week between Pastor Carlos and Tino.  Everyone knows Tino only gets paid to drive but sometimes Tino pitches in to help with what needs to get done, like today we needed him to get a little dirty mixing mescal until the reinforcements came on board.  Pastor Carlos told him he was not lazy right now because he had a shovel in his hands.  Tino works so hard for us when the team does not even know he is working.  But I am grateful to God Tino and Pastor Carlos have such a heart felt friendship in Christ Jesus.

Titone

Titone is slowly growing up to be a good horse but on this particular day. But his little brother was not having going to the other part of Mount Horeb on this bright warm morning on Mount Horeb.  We had to put them in the other part of the campus where it is barb wired because of the dump trunks coming in and out all day leaving the gate open.  Titone would definitely adventure out and take his little brother with him.  As Alexia was walking them down in front of the North American dorm team member got the chance to rub Titone and talk a bit to him.  But as Alexia continued down the driveway towards the gate it was quiet the challenge.  Finally "Snow" thought he was staying on the campus and turned around and came back this way.  So I am hoping "Snow" does not turn out like his big brother and give us all a challenge.  We enjoy watching them around the campus grazing and enjoying one another.  Titone is not quiet as social as he was before "Snow" was born.  He is staying close to his mother Carolina and "Snow" because of the common first child problem, jealously.  Thank you God for these creations of yours which we all enjoy each and every day even if there is a little bit of work involved in keeping up with them.

Breakfast and Tortillas

There is just something about this church group!!!  Every team they send down here loves the tortillas mucho!!!!  This team was not any different.  They would take day old tortillas and warm them up for breakfast.  There was not any tortillas left over during this week.  The ladies got up on Sunday and helped the men cook a breakfast of champions.  Pancakes, big and small, our Honduran staff like their pancakes thin and the North Americans like their pancakes nice and thick.  Then Russ made a mistake and started taking special egg orders.  We were at the Cracker Barrell for sure that Sunday morning.  Thank you for such a yummy breakfast for all of us to enjoy to our liking.  

Lassie

Oh my goodness, this dog was so spoiled this past week.  Her daddy became mush liver when John was around.  Well when Taylor, Bailey, Alix and Danielle were around.  She was never without someone loving on her all the time.  Finally this week I believe she has quit grieving her six year old friend Oso.  She finally gave it up and played with Dukey, I mean played hard with Dukey.  They ran and chased each other.  They both ended up getting super muddy in the beginning stages of the pond.  They are now helping Ingrid make tortillas together.  Lassie is learning to share all her many blessings by living on Mount Horeb.  Lassie brings us so much joy but at the end of the day, she loves her Daddy the most of all and he does her as well.  Lassie is still a semi guard dog.  But we are grateful for Dukey because Manuel said he was going to be a good one as well.  Thank you our sweet Lassie for bringing such joy to everyone you meet.  You are our little God moment everyday!!!!

Worship Service

We arrived promptly for worship service at the Baptist Church of El Limonal.  We were greeted by the former pastor, Santiago who served as pastor there for many years.  Pastor Santiago and Pastor Adrian shared the worship service time together.  The Baptist association is putting Pastor Santiago back out with El Limonal and it was great to see his sweet spirit again.  The congregation sang "When The Roll Gets Called Up Yonder" and many more familiar hymns.  There was one hymn sung which I had not heard in years in Honduras, "Thank You Pastor".  They sang my favorite "Praise the Lord". Theresa was asked to come and participate in the reading of God's Word out of Psalm 100. At this time the service was turned over to Ray who brought God's message for us all to baste on in English and in Spanish.  This sermon was entitled "Trust the Lord"

Ray started by asking the question "have you ever heard that as Christians we must learn to 'trust the Lord with all our heart?"  This famous passage out of Proverbs is more than just a general statement about living it is imperative to successful living. But how do we learn to do this?  We need to follow seven basic steps to make sure we are truly leaning on HIM.

Step #1 Don't depend on YOU.  We live in a world that tells us that w trust must be earned and that it is in short supply.  But King Solomon who wrote the book of Proverbs tells us that trust is exactly where we need to start when he said in Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." Everyone here today has faced disappointments that we felt were teaching us that we have to depend upon ourselves. But if we are going to live the life that God ahs called us to live, we must unlearn this lesson. Instead we must rest in God's understanding. We must trust that He will do as He says.

Even though we may know in our minds that He possess all wisdom, trusting Him wholly sometimes can be tough.  For example when a family member gets sick, how do I completely trust that God has got it.  Each day we must lay aside our own plans and expectations and completely surrender to His plans.  What we want may not be what His plans are for our lives. What if we fee like we cant trust god like that?  This is where step #2 comes in.

Step #2 Proverbs 3:6 says "Seek His will in all you do and he will show you which path to take.  Surrendering to God begins with our lips and our thoughts.  However we need more than just a commitment to depend on Him. We need to cry out to Him to show our dependence on Him. When we pray, we admit that His ways are higher than ours.  We show that we are leaving our troubles, our burdens, and our dreams in His capable hands.  In fact, the Bible promises that when we reach out to Him in prayer, He hears us!!!  Psalm 55:17 tells us "Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress and He hears my Voice."  God holds the keys to our lives and we know that He can lead us, but for that to work we must move on to step # 3.

Step # 3 Run from Evil.  So much out there today can clutter our relationship with God.  John describes these thing to us in 1John 2:16 when he says, "For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and a pride in our achievements and possessions.  These are not from the Father but are from this world.  And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave.  But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever." 

John is telling us here that our blessings can easily become our stumbling blocks when we think of them as what we  deserve or what we need to be happy.  Instead life will work best when we remember the true source of our blessings, God.  The devil wants us to pat ourselves on the back when we do something, because then we take our focus off the true source of our success, God.

Sometimes the only way we can live the life that God wants us to is to separate ourselves from the bad influences that keep bringing us down.  This works best when we start pursuing something else instead of the bad influence.  2 Timothy 2:22 tells us "Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts." 

This is not something that is easy, but no ones said it would be easy.  If we are going to flee from these evil desires that try to pull at us, we must spend time crying out to God and leaning on Him.  Just remember that our God promises to honor our commitment to Him when we shun evil. Running from evil and pursuing God doesn't come naturally to most people; instead it means that we must make serious change.  This takes us to Step #4

Step #4 Put God First in Your Life - Everything we have comes from God.  He created the Heavens and the Earth.  He made each of us and breathed life into our lungs. His has given each of us time and talents to use  while living on earth and He will bless whatever we dedicate to Him. However the devil does not wish for us to experience a blessed life. In John 10:10 Jesus tells us "The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy.  My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." Knowing that God will bless what we dedicate to Him, we need to give it all to Him and not pat ourselves on the back instead praise God for it.   When we give God praise for everything it shows that we are God-centered and not ego-centered.  We love and honor God and not our self.  For us to get to this point we must make sure we get to step # 5.

Step # 5 Check Yourself by God's Word - Let's be honest most of us are not good at evaluating ourselves.  We are quick to give excuses for our behavior, our actions and our sins.  Who needs a defense lawyer when we are so good at defending our poor choices and sins? Jeremiah 17:9 says "The human heart is more deceitful than anything else, and incurable - who can understand it."

However, if we are ever going to truly trust in God and flee from evil we must know exactly where we stand.  We must find an objective  measure that tells us the truth and that truth comes from God and His Word.  Of course, this does not mean that we are always going to like what we see. Proverbs 3:11 says "My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent His rebuke." Sometimes it takes something bad happening or seeing ourselves in a bad light before we finally admit that we need to change.  The more we are in God's Word the more likely we will be able to Trust HIM.  When we have scripture planted firmly in our heats God will often use it to deal with us.  Once we do this, we can move on to step #6.

Step #6 Listen to the Holy Spirit - When Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to the church, He told the disciples that this counselor would be their spiritual compass. In John 14:26 Jesus tells his disciples, "But the counselor, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my Name will teach all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

So, as we go through our day, this same Holy Spirit guides us as well.  When we allow the Spirit to lead us, we do not have to go through our days alone or hope that we are getting it right.  If we allow the Holy Spirit will lead us and protect us.  After all this the gift of the Holy Spirit to all who believe reminds us that we can truly get to step # 7.

Step # 7 - Rest in God's Love - When we face this difficult world each day, sometimes we can ask ourselves or wonder if God even cares.  Why do bad things happen?  Where is God when I need Him?   But again, Solomon reminds us God never takes a break or leaves us to fend for ourselves.  In Proverbs 3:12 Solomon tells us. "Because the Lord disciplines those He loves, as a Father the Son He delights in"

This is telling us that even in the worst of times God sticks with us and uses the challenges we face to help shape us into who He wants us to be. When we can trust this our whole outlook changes.  We will no longer see our setbacks as failures we will see them as moments when God our loving Father works in and through us.  

Therefor we can trust the Lord with all our hearts.  He cares for us each day.  He gives us what we need to thrive.  He pours blessing after blessing upon us.

Of course, following these seven steps is not easy, but no one has ever said that being a follower of Christ would be easy.  Jesus tells us in Matthew that we must deny ourselves and follow Him.  Trusting God takes a whole hearted commitment from when we wake up until we go to sleep.  But I want you all to know that WE ARE NVER AT IT ALONE.

Amen y amen.

Sunday Dinner

Sunday we came home and rested on our Sabbath after church and lunch.  We gathered around the gift shop porch sharing with one another and loving the simple life God has provided us this week.  As the afternoon progressed Mike made his way up to the kitchen to start dinner.  We were treating the team to hamburgers again this week due to unforeseen circumstances again.  Mike got a lot of help from Martha our housekeeper.  So since Martha worked so hard in the kitchen and she took half of Mike's hamburger the week before he decided to cook Martha an extra large hamburger for her dinner this evening.  Martha came set next to me and ate every morsel of that burger.  Thank you Mike for preparing such a delicious dinner for all of us. God is so good.

Still Working Puzzles

As weeks pass and puzzles come there is not a one too hard for Naun.  We have another young lady who can work a puzzle, Alexia.  She spent most of her evenings at this table working this puzzle this week.  I enjoyed working beside Danielle and Taylor as well.  Scott came by once and a while for moral support to put one or two pieces in.  Naun's question was once this team arrived was where is the green Mount Horeb puzzle Miguel dos was suppose to send.  I said it is coming soon, Naun, it is coming soon.  Mike made a mistake of telling our staff what our daughter, Allyson use to do when Stephanie our youngest daughter and I use to work puzzles just like this for hours.  Allyson use to steal a piece and put it in last so she can say she helped.  Well as you can see one of our friends took heed to this idea and made it come alive.  Well this was worse than the Adam and Eve and snake story, everyone was blaming the other.  So I came to the conclusion, Mike, Manuel and Naun were behind this action but finally somehow this missing piece showed up and the puzzle is now complete.  Of course Alexia will get this puzzle to go into her home up on the top of the property and the frame will be made out of wood right off of Mount Horeb.  We do have so much fun on this little piece of Heaven got has entrusted  Mike and I with.  Thank you God for our hard working staff and how they are becoming our family as well.

Chicken Soup

Ana once again served the workers a most delicious pot of chicken soup.  Mike and I came out to help with the gables and got doubled blessed.  Mike got blessed with a lot of help on the gables.  For lunch God blessed us all with a big bowl of chicken soup.  Ana is quiet the chief and does it with love in her heart.  It does my heart good to see our staff sharing in fun and fellowship while enjoying their bowl of soup.  Ana works as a housekeeper for a family in Choluteca and her husband is disabled and not able to work.  So Ana has saved her money for weeks to help provide a little more than beans and rice all week to the workers.  She was most generous with her lunches each day.  We are grateful to see how true generosity is carried out in the Honduran culture.  How they live out the Bible daily in the way they treat others and simply live out their lives amongst each other.  

VBS

What a beautiful three days attending VBS in El Liminal.  Mrs. Becky led the Bible story each day as she told the children a story from the Bible about Jesus' life on this earth,  The Good Samaritan and David and Goliath.  Mrs. Becky has the gift of drawing you right into the Bible story with her.  She makes the stories come alive right before your very eyes.  On the last day she pulled John in on her Bible story of David and Goliath.  John played out Goliath as Mrs. Becky was David.  This was so beyond amazing as these two brought the Bible story right off the pages of the Bible.  One day the children made crosses to go along with the life of Jesus.  They colored a picture of David and Goliath and Theresa jumped on board and put her artistic talent and gifts to work as she pulled the teenage girl aside to do Art Writing using their very own names.  Those girls were so excited to be able to learn how to do this.  On the last day Theresa had them on the floor of the church coloring rocks she had collected around the job site.  What creative folks Catalyst brought down here to serve these beautiful children.  So while crafts and arts was going on the inside, Danielle and Tino led the recreation end of VBS.  Tino tried to handle crowd control to the best of his ability.  He did great with the little girls but those little boys or big boys I must say were quiet the challenge.  Finally Meida came out to check on Tino and he said Meida I am tired take over and finish these boys out please.  Media got right out there and whipped those boys into shape and finished out their VBS with a positive note of completion with lots of happy and joyful children. Thank you Catalyst Church for loving these children in such a special way.

Girls Doing Gables With Pastor Carlos

Mike and I show up to help Pastor Carlos put in the gables much to our surprise the ladies of this team were up on those scaffolding helping Pastor Carlos.  Pastor Carlos asked Mike to come out thinking he was going to need him more than he really did.  God is so good.  Danielle, Theresa, and Alix filled in all the joints for Pastor Carlos and Mike.  Down below Scott and Russ were feeding them the special cut blocks provided by Eddie, John and Ray.  Also Scott was bringing the mud as needed to fill the joints.  This was a well greased machine.  Pastor Carlos at one point called for those girls to get up there to help him as he was ready for their assistance.  Pastor Carlos enjoyed working with these ladies this week.  These ladies proved if you are not afraid of heights you definitely can help put those very tedious gables in place to completion along side Mr. Mike and Pastor Carolos also Yobani as well was right up there working beside Pastor Carlos.  Job well done servants of God.

Families Serving Together

Ray brought a lot of new folks this year and we love them all.  I want to welcome a father and daughter team, Russ and Taylor.  I saw such love and respect for each other from these two throughout the week.  Russ takes extremely amazing care of his baby girl as a godly father.  He took every opportunity to share Jesus in everyday events or opportunities.  Taylor was amazing how she listened and learned from her earthly father as he prepares her to live her life totally for her Heavenly Father.  This is a rare relationship and you both set the example of respect for family to another level.  They worked side by side and separately but the always found their way back together and share about their day together.  I saw it the most at the airport when they were chuckling about something just between them two.  They had been together for eight days and did not grow weary of each other.  Taylor you were a breathe of fresh air for all young people who could learn from you about how to love and respect your parents.  

Thank you God for sending this beautiful young couple to Honduras.  Scott and Danielle have only been married a year and come to Honduras together.  What a great example they set for young couples to start out their marriage by serving their Lord and Savior.  They worked with joy and a content heart all week.  Scott learned how to mix mescal the first day and then got promoted to block laying soon after that. God blessed him with some Hondurans who showed up.  Danielle's devotion one evening was on compassion out of Mark 6:34. Compassion is an action word she shared and it is not enough to feel sorry but to take action and show God's love to whoever is in need, physically, emotionally or spiritually.  She used the example of the Good Samaritan.  She shared it takes a lot for us to show compassion.  When Ana served us the enchiladas and pupusas she was showing us compassion for helping her get her home.  So we need to go where it hurts and we will get dirty and that is okay.  We all need to be more like Ana and give until it hurts actually.  Ana gave her all to us and how we were forever changed from this amazing week. I was blessed to sit and talk to Danielle numerous time and her godly wisdom and discernment at a young age is inspiring for the future of this ministry and other journeys of life.  I love Scott quiet sweet smile as he listens more than he speaks, but when he does speak he speaks volumes.  What a godly couple you two are!!!

We love you!!!

How many of you can say you would go on a mission trip for eight days with an in-law.  Well Ray can surely say it.  He brings is dear precious sweet mother-in-law each year with him.  Mrs. Becky is a young lady who is full of godly wisdom and when she did her devotional on the multi-purpose porch one evening Mike and I looked at each and said "Wow".  She spoke volumes of how this trip will effect you if you only allow your heart to do so and how when you go home it may be a little hard on you as you reunite back to "your world".  Mrs. Becky we are so blessed to hear your knowledge and love for your Lord and Savior.  Mrs. Beck shared how she wanted to hold on to Ana's family, to the different smells and to those beautiful children.  She does not want to loose what God gave her this past week.  Memories which can change us if we only allow God to let it happen. Mrs. Becky shared once we go back home nothing should change, we are still missionaries but just on a different mission field.  Share Jesus' love with whoever we run into and bring the lost to Christ.  Take the time to look at the eyes of whoever God puts in your path, she shared a small magnifying glass with each of us and told us to look closer and show the compassion that Danielle shared during her devotional.  Baily was taken back by Mrs. Becky's hand out for each of us.  Mrs. Becky took time before coming to prepare her devotional and prayed over her time to share with us.  She was intentional about her mission trip to Honduras long before she came.  She prepared herself for what God had instore for her this week.  Mrs. Becky worked hard for her Lord and she would not let her young age stop her from serving HIM.  So it doesn't matter how young or old you are if you are willing to get out of your box and go God will use you in a mighty way just as He used Mrs. Becky this past week.

We love you Mrs. Becky!!!
