God's awesome power

today is june29th 2008 and i started the day by waking up at 7am this morning and helping to set up for breakfast with bob and anna bendler so that was awesome to help with that,then had quiet time with god and reading scripture from genesis 1 which we studied the night before and learned so much about what god made in seven days and said it was good!
then after breakfast the day began with a worship service with the firehouse family church and there congregation and the love that they gave us was so heart felt that we came to help rebuild because we are people of compassion that love people that we dont even know and that was so awesome to see and they came up and hugged us and that left me with that yeah kind of feeling that were here to help but were not hereos were people that care about this comunity who needs so much love and the love of jesus christ.
after the worship service with firehouse family church,we had lunch then went on our prayer walk in the ninth ward and saw the devestation that happened a couple years ago from hurricane katrina and when i was walking down the street and saw the loss and devestaion was one verse and that was god can giveth and taketh away and what happened here was total loss of life and families homes and so we are for a reason and that is to rebuild to bring hope back to new orleans.
after the prayer walk we drove to the bad part but sin in downtown new orleans and walked up and down french street and market so that question still lingers in my heart and ask god why but wont know that till i go face to face with god my lord and savior but god knows the plans of everyone because he loves you so much thats why he formed you in the image of christ.
then after the walk through the french street and market we drove back to firehouse church and got ready for dinner then steve jeantet and i went to lowes store to buy tools for the week ahead and bought a drywall electric power nail gun i feel like tim the tool man taylor on home improvement and like ty pennington of the home extreme home makeover to help bring hope and stability back to new orleans .
then we came home and had a big taco dinner with everyone and that was so good and felt like i was in mexico again in merida mexico for another missions trip i was on with faith prebyterian church in 1989 and that was another trip that was so awesome because of gods love and power he has over us because our god is an awesome god !
