Lindsee the Builder

Hey strangers! I landed back in hot, humid, nasty weather Houston on Thursday evening and haven't stopped since. I totally plan to blog about my vacation to Colorado, but in the meantime, I think sharing my new hobby with you will hold you over.

Friday morning I headed straight to a retreat center for our Belize 101 team planning retreat. These are the rookies of the team that have never been on a mission trip before, so we did some very basic training and team building exercises and it was all around a great, productive time! The main job this team has while we're in Belize is they will be building beds for the camp we'll be staying at. They will also be doing other things, but it will mainly be a lot of physical labor.

To prepare them for this, a crash course in power tools was only necessary. Building a side table was their job this weekend! Although I'll mainly be serving with and helping the 201 team, I figured paying close attention could only help me.

I never imagined they'd actually let me touch a power tool.

Let alone use it.

But alas, they did.

I have to admit, it was quite intriguing. And fulfilling.

And although I'm almost one-hundred percent positive God's call on my life is vocational ministry...

I'm not sure He hasn't called me into carpentry.

I mean, check out that form. And confidence! Doesn't it suit me?

No? You don't agree? Well, I'm not sure Jen's husband Grant does, either. Upon seeing this picture he said, "Let us pray for Belize and those students."

Pray you will.

Build I will.

Forget Bob the builder, Lindsee's in town!

I've got all your carpentry needs covered.
