Learning and Growing

Hi ya'll! Sorry it's been so long since I've written on here. No news is good news sometimes I guess. The time is beginning to go by a lot faster now. I feel like I am getting settled into my routine and really enjoying my time here more and more. I like the work that I'm doing. Getting to meet some of the homeowners and see how appreciative they are for our work is very gratifying. It helps me to see the purpose behind what I'm doing. It's really about the relationships!! It's about touching people's lives in a tangible way. It's about allowing God to be real in our lives by putting into practice what the Word says. For me, just going to church isn't enough for me. I love to hear a good sermon just as much as the next person, or sing hymns, or say prayers. That is all great and I know I need that to feel restored and empowered. But I believe there is more to it than that . . . my faith has not grown solely by me just going to church and thinking about God. Rather it has grown in my day-to-day life and work where I can see God's hand at work in people caring for each other and prayers being answered. I don't believe in having blind faith and don't believe God expects us to have blind faith in Him either. God is faithful and won't just leave us hanging; we just gotta ask! "Seek and you will find." God is answering prayers every day and this is where I see God and where God is no longer just an idea but reality.

So what exactly have I've been doing the past few weeks? Well 2 weeks ago there wasn't any volunteers so I got to do some projects on my own like build a railing for Ms. Marsha's house. Sometimes I like to have my own little projects like that.


I also got to do some tool organizing in the basement. It was a challenge but I drew from my knowledge of the past two years, living with one of the best organizers I know, Cameron!! Thanks buddy!
