Ramp built..relationship built

I shared earlier about meeting Robin and her need for a ramp for her sister in a wheelchair. We completed the deck and Robin was so pleased.
I also had the opportunity to share with Robin and counsel with her. She is beginning to have hope and can see that what she is experiencing is not because she is crazy or going there. In fact she is suffering the effects of trauma in her life.
While talking with Robin I shared the reason why he had come to help out in the gulf. I shared with her about the love of God and how God had not forgotten her. I asked her "How do you know that God has not forgotten about you?" Her response was "because He sent you guys here to help me." It was a real breakthrough for her. She has made a commitment to get back to church and rebuild a relationship with God which she has neglected for quite some time. She grew up in a Christian home but was not actively involved in a personal relationship with Christ. The good news is she is planning to be back in church on Sunday, not for me, but because she knows it is where she needs to be.
If building a wheelchair ramp for someone is a tool to help build a realtionship with Christ then Iam so blessed to bless others.
Another exciting thing happened this week. We received gift certificates for over $450.00 to be used to buy tools for our work projects. With this blessing we were able to purchase a cordless drill, a skill saw, levels, and lots of other necessary building tools. God's timing is so evident once again. So thanks so much to the team from Indiana that blessed us this way.
