EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE, ALAN

Have you ever gone to work and the work you planned on doing was already done? Well, without a group to help us build the "TWINS" house, I got to the colonia around ten this morning, thinking about just cutting some of the wood for the walls and maybe assembling the rafters and then a few people from Calvary were going to help on Thursday and Friday. Lo and behold, Carmelo and 3 other guys, from the colonia, had two walls up, the rafters all assembled, and the family next door was busy painting the wood while Elizabeth took care of the twins. God showed up! I strapped on my tool belt and before long, all four walls were up and I was saying my goodbyes, because Rick Caywood was with me and had to go pick up a load of rice and bring some back to the warehouse before he heads to El Paso with a half a load of rice and a half a load of beans tomorrow.Rick really wanted to see the colonia where God has placed us for the last four years and where most of the beans and rice he and his partners donate goes. The sign on our Ministry House reads " EVERYDAY HOLDS THE POSSIBILITY OF A MIRACLE" (Thanks Georgia) and today was one of those days. If all goes well, we might be able to dedicate the house on Saturday, but we would sure like to invite some people from our church that made this MIRACLE HOUSE happen, so we might give them the house and dedicate it next week. We stopped at least ten times driving thru the colonia to hand out bags of rice and corn that were supposed to be handed out on Saturday, but maybe God provided their miracle today as well. Last night, we had 12 missionaries come over for dinner. Two bush pilots, a flight instructor and his wife, a missions trucker, the directors of Mexico Missions Phil and Marrianne, the Balmers, part time/ full time missionaries, two missionaries on this side of the border, and us. If I'd known we were going to have a missions conference, I would have called a few more. The stories were unending and we all shared a little bit about how God moved us to where we all were and how faithful God is. All of us are humbled at how God provides for all of our ministries, so why not adopt a missionary this week and be part of what God is doing around the world? If serving Jesus on this side of heaven is so absolutely awesome, what will heaven be like?
