Notice.....

Unfortunately I have no pictures to share with you all just yet, but they are coming. Working and working .....did I mention working?...haha I have been working a lot and I love my job. It's so great and the people I work with are like a big family. All the guys on the job site treat me like I'm their daughter.....it's kind of funny. Learning things about construction and the amount of work that goes into what we drive by everyday and never take the time to notice the people that worked to the bone until the job was done. This job has made me notice a lot. I was recently approached by one of the subcontractors about my faith. Knowing that he is an atheist I prayed really hard before our conversation because I knew it was bound to happen. I didn't know what to expect, so I was really ready for just about anything he was going to say.....so I thought. After realizing that he wasn't trying to listen, but definitely wanted to be heard. I just sat there and prayed for God to help me say something that would make him just listen. I shared my testimony and told him that I cannot change the way he thinks about the subject, but I let him know that I would be praying for him. Basically, we agreed to disagree. Since then, I have been praying faithfully for him and many of the other guys that share the same "thoughts" as his. Not letting my guard down and making sure they know that Jesus is my Lord and Savior by my actions and words, the most awesome thing happened. Since this conversation with Guy, (that's his name) 2 more Christians have come onto the job within the past week. It's so hilarious to me. I see the ways God is saying, "don't worry, I got your back". When I say hilarious, I mean that it makes me smile so big that I laugh.....almost as if I am in such an "awe state" I can't help but laugh. What a great miracle that we are all so blessed to know how much we are loved!!! Sitting down and actually noticing that enough to the point where tears are streaming down your face and you are thanking God for loving you should be something we do each and everyday. As I wrote in my last post, I was learning more about the bible and I am enjoying the learning process and look forward to one day share this joy with others. So, please pray for Guy and the people we meet everyday who are lost. We are here to glorify our King! DO IT ;)

That's awesome! I know that exact feeling - when you just smile and have to laugh because you are so awe struck by God and His majesty! They say laughter is the body's reaction to shock - when the brain doesn't know how to respond; I think laughter is quite appropriate.
