IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME

The trade school was busy with activity yesterday as Roy and Johnny started organizing things and testing the electric tools. Many kids from the colonia hung around and Roy and Johnny started teaching them the safety aspects of the different tools. They taught them how to operate a few of the sanders, grinders and routers as they went about the day. Roy just called and said that there was a few more students that showed up in the afternoon, anxious to learn the trades. There is a single Mom, Suri, that always asks us for food and diapers and is pregnant again and I told her she needs to work for anything in life, so she agreed to come and clean the school at the end of each day. Lots of sawdust and wood chips need to be swept everyday. I was starting to get a little frustrated at the slow progress of getting the school open until I surrendered it to God and His timing and things are coming together. We can always push and shove doors open and get frustrated in the process, or we can just relax and let God run the universe knowing that God is ALWAYS GOOD and always has things in control. The prayers we think go unanswered are really being worked out in accordance to His will not ours, and sometimes the answer is knocking at the door but we refuse to answer it because of the fact that we don't believe that God will show up. So today, just relax and be still and know that He is God and your not. And if someone rings your door bell, answer it, you never know what that step of faith will bring. You just might miss the intended blessing of God and as the scripture says that the eyes of God go through the land looking for ways to bless the obedient.
