I love being in the volunteer state!!

It will be six months on October 2nd. The hype with the flood is definitely gone. You would think it would be hard to find help. However, being in the volunteer state it isn't hard to find someone looking for a place to help out. As the stress level goes up from trying to get everything to come together at the end we have had so many people volunteer their time. We have had people from our life group (LifeChurch.tv bible study), friends, and complete strangers show up. Within the last month they have painted, stained, cleaned, and install hardwood floors.

We are hoping for mom and Caleb to be back in their house in a week. I have already had a church contact us about bringing out a group on Saturday. God has definitely shown us he will take care of us. Everyone that has came out to help has been a light for God. So many times it has looked as if there was no way things were going to work out and God has put someone in place to make sure everything would work out. One example is we have come to the end of funds and not sure how we would get everything finished. I knew I could at least get some rooms painted and it would start looking like a home again. A friend of a friend showed up to help. By the end of the day he had offered to head up a day for volunteering to install the floors. He leaves in a week to go to New Orleans to volunteer for the 23rd time. What an amazing person God put in our lives!

So why on Earth would we even worry how things will work out when our awesome God is in control.
