Today was another great day on the work sites, despite the temperature getting up to 90 degrees. There is not a whole lot to update about the two jobs that we are working on, other then the fact that as the week goes on we get closer and closer to finishing the roof and well the bathroom on the other hand the longer the week goes on the more things we find wrong with the bath room. You would have thought that this situation was taken right out of a television comedy where the husband wants to make one minor fix in the bathroom and well you know the story ends and we are hoping that our story ends differently by Friday evening. (I apologize for the run on sentences but it is 12:30 in the morning and I am really tired but I also wanted to give everyone an update on our day so that means you get long run-on sentences with bad grammar.)
Every day when we get back from the worksites and after we have had the chance to go over to the school and shower we all (students and adults) find some quite time and do our devotions (props to Curt Equi for doing an awesome job putting them together). I wanted to share a little bit with you about some of my thoughts during my devotion time today. One of the questions that were asked was, “What are some of the most rewarding things you’ve done on the Mission Trip do far? Were they worth your effort?” That was an easy question for me to answer and it had nothing to do with any of the physical labor that we have been doing this week. The most rewarding thing that I have done with this week is to get to really get to know the five students (and two adults) who are on this trip. I just started working at Grace on July 11 and I didn’t meet Connor and Nick until this past Sunday which was the day we left for the mission trip but yet I already feel like I have know these guys for years and it is only Wednesday evening. It is amazing what God can do in your life in just a few short days when you come together as the Body of Christ and work together as one unit. I am so excited to be on team here at Grace Pres and I know that God has great things in store for the student ministry.
I am excited to get some sleep tonight to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work on the roof in the morning. Thank you for taking the time to check out our blog and please do not be afraid to leave a comment!
Sounds like a "dirty job" and a rewarding trip. Hope the bathroom comedy wraps up by Friday as scheduled. Thanks for the updates we are enjoying them! Nancy and Jeff Hardimon
