This is it, what I am talking about.

Community coming together to help and protect one another. The last four weeks have been the hardest and most blessed in my life.

In my previous posting I mentioned about being attacked and a list of trials. The move happened with friends. But getting the first load to Florida was only the beginning.

When I returned to Waco my main goal was to clean the house and move out all remaining stuff. As I look back it is hard to fathom all of the help that has came to my rescue. Friends that have walked the ministry path with me for more years than I can count helped with a garage sale. Their daughter, who I first met as one of the Christ Like Kids, brought her family. Her husband’s friendly, outgoing and great salesmanship enabled us to have the best garage sale every.
Coworkers came through, one who sent her daughter and grandson plus another with her husband helped tremendously. Mother and son were a constant source of labor. Couple duo hauled off two big loads for their church garage sale and bought stuff.

A friend and man of God that we walk together in ministry with showed up with a trailer. A dump load and furniture store drop off more was gone.
Another coworker with a trailer did five loads of scrap metal, two dump, furniture and donations.

The cavalry of volunteers came from one of our programs. A new good friend arrived for the final push of loading the truck and the final dump load.

I hope you begin to comprehend the scope of the mountain I built over the years.

A six car garage plus half the house had to be liquidated. The sale, Church donation, two ministries plus several trips to the dump and the miracle of empty garages happened. Because Budget failed us with our truck reservation (long story) we had to load and reload.

But while all of us where working on the mountain of collectibles, four hardy souls were scrubbing the house top to bottom. The were hired by an anonymous person who is the best example of being Christ Like that I know.

No matter how big a mountain you build God has a way and plan to get you over, around, through or move it out of the way.

In these trying times keep the faith and lean not on your own understanding. Community is what is so important when the world turns upside down.
