Day 4


This morning I spoke about being called to be, rather than called to tasks, roles, actions or jobs. I shared with the team that I thought God was desperate to have a relationship with us and just chill out with us; in fact I think God loves us just sitting on his lap an chilling out, pretty much how my children do. Words are not needed when one of my children choose just to lie n my hands, we just sit and ‘be’.

Today I have become even more impressed with my team. Despite tiredness, despite the monotony, despite wet and then hot weather, each member of the team continues to work hard, continues to smile, and genuinely continues to enjoy themselves. This is a team that is at peace with itself, and I think that peace is attractive to others as they come across us.

Today we used the digger to attempt to flatten the ground, I took a team to clear outside the back of someone’s house, and Ellie went of with a team to clean up a park.

Today I have been thanked by lots of residents who have come out of their way to say hello. It’s been great to see God in those living in the community. Its been beautiful to hear the thanks and see the amazement on peoples faces.

Day 4 was again very hard work, but we kept going. We cleared a lot more rubbish and leveled some of the round. Tomorrows task is to clear the rubbish and level the ground so that we have a community BBQ there tomorrow evening. I hop that during the BBQ that we can meet more people and start to get to know them.

Tomorrow is very much a day of what next. Where do we go now we have done this for a week? What do the residents do with the triangle? How does this impact on what we do as church each week? I’m looking forward to tomorrow, but not because it is the last day of the project, but because it could be start of something even more amazing.
