The Blocks Go Up In the Rain

 

 

 

 

 

As the morning progressed the rain continued coming down ever so slowly.  It would stop and it would start back up.  But everyone who had been before was thanking God for such a beautiful morning working Choluteca, Honduras.  They were grateful for this huge blessing falling from the sky.  There has not been any rain accept about a month ago for three days at the beginning of June.  We are now in rainy season and there has been very little rain at all.  They are unable to plant their corn and beans for this season.  So our prayer is to please continue to pray for us as we still need more rain.

The walls started going up.  By lunch time they had three courses up and everyone found their spot and took off working hard.  The new timers learned quickly how to lay blocks, sift the sand and how many buckets of sand goes into the mixer.  Everyone became unified and the work continued to flow.  As lunch time came around the rain was coming down harder and harder.  Praise the Lord.  The team got to a stopping place and broke for their lunch.

Gregg followed the lead from one of our Honduran staff and found him a hammock.   He shared how he enjoys the culture where life is slow and easy.  The team sat back and enjoyed their sandwiches and time of fellowship with one another.  Marie shared in her devotional one evening how we need to stop with the businesses of life and listen to God's gentle whisper.  Sometimes God does not speak to us through the thunderstorms or earthquakes but through a gentle whisper.  Do we ever get still enough to hear his gentle whisper?  Thank you Marie, first timer for seeing this and sharing with us to be a little like the Hondurans with our life, slow down and listen to what God has to say to us.

 

After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
