Bottom of the Barrel

In the five trips I've taken to Harmon's, this is the first time for blogging.  Today several of us worked on the foundation for a future house.  The woman we started this house for has had a run of bad luck, which I was very happy to be apart of God's new blessing on her.  To build a foundation we had to dig an outline for the frames, move dirt, gather rocks, and mix the maul/cement/water together to lay the base.  The dirt in areas had several roots we had to go through and in other areas was very hard.  Her land had very few rocks and several of us had to walk further up the hill to find more, which were still difficult.  We needed to use much of her maul to use as a cover layer before we poured the concrete, which meant we had less to use and a neighbor shared theirs.  The water onsite was spent rather quickly, so our lady was forced to use her own drinking water.  I don't want to sound like I'm complaining.  In fact, I just wanted to preface what we witnessed as a total God moment.  Everyone pitched in and was able to get all the dirt moved and all the rocks were found.  While we used all the lady's drinking water, I was very proud of my team who gathered all the water bottles and emptied them into her barrel and again neighbors also gave their valuable water.  At the end of the day I spoke with Barry (one of the Jamaican workers).  He told me that many times they have run out of maul or water.  But today, we had EXACTLY enough!  After reflection of the day, I am in awe of the way God uses everyone to help fulfill his purpose.  I pray that He continues to provide this lady with exactly what she needs.
