It was another great day today! The weather not so hot, it was only 90 and we got some rain and a breeze this afternoon.
Our team is making progress on the home we are working on. Before we went to the job site we loaded up with more tools:
Here is my new friend Shelley. We worked on a project by the front door where there was a soft spot. In the end we found out the sub-floor was fine but it needed more bracing. So I cut the floor and then we measured and added three more supports before replacing the sub-floor. So glad that the homeowner will have a firm footing each time she comes home.
Nicholas and Haley are removing the layer of underlayment from the living room. Yesterday Haley, Christy and I removed the particle board from the living room before this coulde be removed. Soon it will be ready for new underlayment and bamboo flooring.
We are so thankful for the kitchen volunteers. They prepare such amazing meals for us each evening and great food for us to pack our lunch. Here we all are for dinner.
Today's devotion was called "Service of Passionate Devotion" from the Oswald Chambers devotional I mentioned yesterday. The bible verse he chose was from John 21: 16 - "Lovest thou me?....Feed my sheep."
Chambers brings up a concept I had never thought about before. One that makes so much sense. He shares, "Jesus did not say - Make converts to your way of thinking, but look after My sheep, see that they get nourished in the knowledge of Me."
In coming to New Jersey with World Renew my prayer is that we will be a witness for Christ and that the families we serve will see our love and devotion to Him. He is the reason we are here because He has called us. We want to "Feed my sheep" as He commanded us to do in John 21. It is His strength that sustains us in our work when physically we should not be able to work in the heat we are experiencing.
May you feel the Lord's sustaining grace, strength, power and wisdom as you "Feed my sheep" in the places that He has sent you.
Catherine
