Since I have been here it has been so awesome to just help the people and just really build the relationships we have. Lately I have been a little fustared it seems like everywhere we go people Our just saying give me give me, and it is hard to say no and just not try to give into there every need. for example we build a house for a lady and during that time we were talking to people avout it and they were like well can you build me a house or where is mine and I am tinking we are not super heros and we do have alot of money we just can’t jump and meet every need that comes our way. Like someone was telling me the other day you can only do so much for people for they get were they are depndind on you for everything. For me when I see a need the servant part of me is just wanting to jump in and help but sometimes helping is just beyond our reach and we can,t do anything. It really kind of aggravetedme the other day when i visted a lady and i aplogized because we had not been there in awhile, and i explained we had been busy bulding a house and helping with a project that was buliding houses. She grabbed me and started telling me of here need and was very forceful with saying well why can’t you help me and build me a house and we told her before she has to have her own land. Also while we were there a man aproached and asked if we can help this other family who had 4 girls and a dad and a mom. The story was a little crazy they had been living in Texas but the dad had been deported to Mexico and they had no place to go so they were asking us to help and we were like this is beyond what we can do but we ended up taking them to our church and someone there helped them. I guess my point is that I have been to realize yes help the those in need but you can’t just keep helping if they are going to keep begging you for more and more and want a dependce from you. So please pray as I am leaving in 2 weeks that I can help were I can and not feel guilty if I can’t help someone because no i know that sometimes it just isn’t fesable.

  1. Chad, you are doing work that many cannot do and many will not do. you are being attacked and approached not by the Lord but by the enemy. he wants you to be weak and discouraged. Lean on God heavily these last two weeks. your love for God and for his kids in mexico is evident. focus on them and love kids that’s what the Lord asks of you.

  2. when are you coming to Gainesville? Deryck and I are looking forward to having you around dude!
