Work Weekend 21

Lot 15 with grid in place for slab.

We meet Saturday.  We had our safety meeting on working with power tools.  It rained all morning and so we only worked until 11 am.  Thank you Nate and Katelyn for coming out and being willing to help us in the rain. Sorry we quit right when you arrived.  We would love to have you back anytime.

I had mix feeling about having another weekend off.  I want to get the house built and know we need to work every week over 40 hours to get the house done in 12 months. However,  I enjoyed the time I got to spend with my kids and friends.  We got to go to church on Sunday and heard a great message .  We were also able to go to our church's Christmas dinner.  We were so blessed by God.  We are building a home we never would dream we would own.  We are working with our neighbors building friendships and our homes.  We are supported by our family and friends, who help with the house building and watch our children. 

Prayer Request:

1) Endurance- We are 5 months in and need to get to out of the dirt.  We have about 7-9 months to go. 
2) Wisdom for Facio-  We are getting closer to framing the houses.  So we will all be learning new skills
3) Unity and Harmony- We need to work as a team, with everyone putting effort out, for us to complete these houses by mid Summer.
4) Weather- We need dry weather for a few more weeks to get the houses all to slab.

Matthew 6:25-33

The Cure for Anxiety

²⁵ “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? ²⁷ And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? ²⁸ And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, ²⁹ yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. ³⁰ But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! ³¹ Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ ³² For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³ But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
