Literally moving mountains of plaster! How amazing it is how God used Merle (president of the Bible School ) with this idea of what to do with all of the old plaster out of the house. He suggested making plaster drive-ways and paths! Well since then we have taken a bunch of loads out from the main floor of the house, but still had an enormous mountain sitting in a bedroom on the second floor. I had been making myself sick when I thought about moving that heavy mountain! Like some of the things in our own lives, burdens or problems that seem like mountains to be moved, we can make our self sick when we think about them. Well what I have found out in the past and now through this plaster-mountain experience, first of all is another reminder of how our God is a mountain mover according to Matthew 17; 20-21, all we have to do is give it to Him and ask Him to guide us through. Well the mountain had been sitting for a while and time passed, I continued to work around the pile frustrated and inconvenienced… it had to be moved! As you can see in the pictures below the boys and I became creative! We built a ramp out of the second floor window! This was so much better than carrying it out in buckets and believe it or not, the ramp made the plaster land exactly where we needed it to be. Guys this whole process of moving this mountain and putting the pieces all where they belong only took about three hours! Yes it was a lot of sweat, dust and work but overall it was pretty easy. It’s amazing how those mountains in our life seem to be these huge things that are impossible, but then the Lord gives us His strength and guidance, and when we look back we can tell that the Lord had His hand in it all. Then the big question is “why was I so worried?”
