He uses the foolish, weak and the lowly

Man, Peru has been a blast from getting to love on the workers to loving on kids the Lord used us in big ways! The first two days were pretty hardcore! We got to move huge piles grass to a field so they can have a soccer/sports field. We used wheelbarrels and arms to move the piles of grass. We definitely got a work out. This was apretty great task and taught me alot! The Lord definitely was teaching me to work for Him and not for man! My pride and competitive nature was wanting to carry more than others, worker faster, and do a better job! Yes, that is good and all, but my motives for doing that were completely wrong! I was doing it for myself rather than serving for the Lord Colossians 3, 23 Sorry not sure how to put the colon for this

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.

After those first two days, on Saturday we went to a plaza and played with kids. We played camp games like 3,6,9 hey, hi-yah, and look-up look-down. We played with them for about 2 hours or so then shared the Gospel with them. This day was one of my favorites at camp for sure! We just got to be relational and love on some people! The Lord is so good! We need to make the most of the opportunities given to show Jesus to others.

Our accomodations were pretty good! We slept in cabins the first couple nights and then slept in our tents the last 3! We had running watering, but the water smelled like fish and was quite yellow! Nonetheless we were able to shower and for that I am grateful! Peru made me appreciate warm showers, foods beside chicken and rice, and being able to speak the same language!
In Peru the counselors called me Chuck Norris!! I do not believe they know my real name , but everyone knew who Chuck Norris was and who they were referring to! One night we went into town and someone spotted a photo of him, so that is where this picture came from. The kids loved the picture and were even more convinced I was his look alike! This was a great memory!

The Lord has been challenging me that He uses the weak, foolish and lowly to do His work so we can't take pride in our own work! He uses his power to accomplish His will through the weak, foolish and lowly! He has really challenged me with my motives, and taking the glory rather than pointing the glory to God! Man, we serve an amazing God who choses us to do His will. We are blessed to get to be apart of his will!

1 Corinthians 1, 27-29
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him.

WOW!!!!! The thought of 47 days coming to an end and the adventure closing is baffeling! The Lord has shown me so much and I hope and pray He will continue to show me after the trip has completed!

Thank you all so much for the continued support of these past days! I appreciate your encouragement a great deal and following along with the journey God allowed me to go on! You all are a blessing. Thanks so much for the prayers and I am excited to share with you when I get back to the states. May God bless you in mighty ways!

For His glory and your joy,
