Getting in the Wheelbarrow

Goree Unit south of Huntsville, TX

On Dec 2, we went to the Goree Unit in Huntsville, TX where we go on the 1st Sunday of every month. We get to preach in the chapel in the building also after that we go to the Trusty Camp and have a service. The Trusty Camp is made up of low level offenders who serve their time by giving back to the community.

The topic was Leaning on Jesus instead of relying on ourselves. We used the example of the high line walker who wire walked across the Grand Canon. Before he walked, he asked the crowd "How many of you think I can do it?" The crowd cheered and said "We believe you can do it! GO for it!" He walked across and back and then told the crowed he was glad they believed him. "Do you think I can do it again?" and they all cheered. Then he uncovered a wheel barrow and asked the crowd if they thought he could push it across the canon. "Oh yes" shouted the crowd and they cheered as he pushed it over and back again. "Do you think I can do it again?" They all believed he could . He asked "Do you think I can push my assistant across in the wheel barrow?" "Yes" the crowed shouted. But he had no assistant, so he asked for a volunteer but no one would accept. They all knew he could do it, but not with "me".

We all know God can do all things, but sometimes we will not get in the wheel barrow. We have seen him work in other peoples life around us and we know he can do it, but we do not have the Faith to get in the wheel barrow. I pray that you are able to do the things that God calls you to do.
We had 10 salvation's on Sunday. These guys got in the wheel barrow. And remember, no one ever said it would not be scary. That's what faith is all about.

We will be going to the Byrd Unit in Huntsville on the 16 of Dec.
