We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives us the right answer.
Tuesday was the day to pour the concrete floor in the home for Jose and Kelin. I love the process of smoothing out the concrete with a trowel and doing the “shimy” with the 2x2 wood. In every home that we have built I have been a part of this process and I was really looking forward to helping. I picked up a trowel but quickly realized that the local construction team would be doing the floor, not the missionaries. I can’t lie. I was disappointed. But God knew the plan he had for me was the right one. I spent the afternoon “moving rocks” with little Angel and his plastic truck. We played ball and drove cars around in the dirt. I got to talk to Kelin about her family. God put me in a place to experience relationship, being present and experiencing pure joy!
Relationship and just enjoying each other’s company - that is so much more of a gift - pure joy for sure
