So like... Yesterday I was amazed. I always have so many things going. Making sure jobs are completed, payroll is made, cows are fed etc. With the work force such as it is. I have been sweating getting some help on a big shop we are building. As usual, Iiiiii... Let it get the best of me and started worrying. You can't hire anyone these days that will show up, much less work. Unless you let them stand around va**ng and texting.
So Jeff and I start putting insulation and metal on a 40*50 shop with 16' sidewalls. Then the wind starts blowing. And after two four hours we had two whole sheets on. I looked at Jeff and did something I have never done. I said: Jeff, we can't do it. We need help. I have to tell the homeowner it'll be a day or two. I got on the phone, started calling people. No one to help. So we went to eat lunch. When we got to order, I asked if the lady knew anyone needing a job. She said no. I turned to walk to my table and a man immediately made eye contact and said do you have any work? I was shocked and laughing both at the same time.
You see, I had to quit and get out of the way so God could do his thing. His timing wasn't what I wanted. I think he wanted me to prove to myself that inspite of myself, I cannot do everything and require help.
The man came right after lunch and worked out great. He is a vet to boot. Great work ethic and had my respect at I've been in war.
Jesus came into my life at age 9. I didn't know what to do with it until I was way older. The holy Spirit led me to a church that led me to a ministry that led me to a jail that led folks to Christ. All in his timing not mine.
I have been as bad as bad can get without drugs or alcohol. Yet God still favors and uses me. So now it is time for me to act on my promises to be a better Christian and love the way I should. It feels good to be on time
