Project 7 - day 3 - posted by Beverly

Day 3. - Beverly checking in. Yesterday I decided that I was not going to complain at all during this project. My friend SK and I said we were going to hit this head on and be intentionally thankful. Well, I wish I could bleep that out. Today I am at home with a crying 3 year old who is stubbornly refusing to go #2. I need some coffee people!! I mean I NEED it now. But even as I write this the Lord has brought to mind my friend Kerry who is in Haiti right now. She sent me a picture of where the orphan lives who she will bring home and call her daughter. I was shocked at how the kids were showering in the rain because they have no running water. They have no toilets. How blessed am I that I even get to potty a child who owns a toilet...more like 3.5 toilets. And so, project 7 remains a success today as I swallow my complaints and give thanks to the God who blesses me more than I have eyes to see or a heart that comprehends. Three things I am thankful for today: toilets Heat for my house (in April?) The ability to worship God in safety
