We worked all day…

As you know, we recently had a work team come from the U.K. to help us work on our house.  The goal for the 2 weeks they were here was to get the house ready for us to move into it in August.  We were able to accomplish that and then some.  I have to admit that at first I was a little sceptical about the proposed skill level of most of this crew.  The Lord quickly reminded me though that He more often than not chooses to use those who are not ‘skilled’ at what they do.  This way He can be readily glorified as He should be for the things He accomplishes through us.  Within the context of this work team, there were 12 of them, 6 guys and 6 girls.  1 was an experienced carpenter, 3 had a little knowledge of it, and the rest were simply willing to try and learn.  That’s really all we needed.  Everyone worked hard, learning how to swing hammers, read tape measures, and use power tools (without major injuries even!) to get the job done.  I couldn’t have asked for more, so thank you to everyone on the U.K. Summit Team of 2010 who came to help us.
