What A Day

Each day the group stopped at three for the day. They purchased a cold soda and bag of chips from the Mt. Horeb pulperia.  We all gathered on the front porch of the North American porch sharing about the day and looking out over each day the progression on the roof.  There were very hot days on that roof but they all pushed and pushed really hard daily which God had called them here to do.

We started devotions around five thirty and went into God moments before heading to breakfast.  Six o'clock comes early each morning.  After dinner these gentlemen were ready for bed to prepare their bodies for the next day.

Joel did the third night devotion out of John 1:43-51, "Come and See" was the title of his devotion. You are here at Mt. Horeb because someone told you about Mt. Horeb, someone took the time to share it with you.  Joel shared we serve a God who take away excuses.  Rich man could not come because he would of had to sell everything he had and he could not bring himself to do this..  Also the greatest joy we can find is when Jesus says "Come and see" and we do just that.  We are also to say "Come and See" so others can learn more about Jesus complete joy here at Mt. Horeb or wherever God has called you to go.  "Come and See"

There was some amazing God moments on Mt. Horeb each day.  Interestingly they did not have to leave Mt. Horeb to see God's hand at work.  Scott shared how the gentleman with the dump truck stalled out and he simply smiled and kept right on going until he got it started up again.  Scott shared how this would have really frustrated him because this would have slowed down his day, his progress. Scott shared how he needed to be more like the man with the stalled dump truck. Eric was up on the rafters welding a better part of his week.  I thought he was up there all by himself.  Well God provided him some friends as he worked ever so gingerly around a dove nest.  The mother dove hovered all around her nest protecting her three babies as Eric  was welding away. Joel shared how Pastor Benjamin came back up the hill to say good bye to him because Joel was not with everyone else when the good byes were taking place.  Joel shared how he took the time to find me and say good bye.  Would we do this as North Americans.  Would we take the time?

Another beautiful attribute of our brothers and sisters here in Honduras.  They always put others first in all situations.  Their hospitality is something we could all learn how to use and share with others.
