so i woke up and had my quiet time. i think i was reading a chapter in the purpose driven life about serving God.. and i was just trying to prepare my heart for that day and for the build. i had heard it was gonna be so hard.. and hot.. and frustrating.
that morning we heard from this one guy that was a bible school college professor. he talked to us about making everything we pray about be about God's will for our lives, not our will. I don't remember much from that service I was kinda falling asleep. which was BAD, haha.
in my last blog i forgot to mention that that night me, breanne, and karina couldn't sleep so we had a bible study in el baño(the bathroom>:D) hahaha. we read 2 timothy and jkafjafhs i love that book. something i learned that night is how much biblical knowledge i DON'T have. it was really nice going through that book and stopping after each little part to talk about it.
so we got put into our teams for monday and tuesday. i remember on our way to our build that day..i was thanking God for the team He put me in. I just had a good feeling. so we got to our build site and met the family and started working on the house.
okay so A) it wasn't very hard to build, B) it wasn't frustrating at ALL and,and C) the heat just made it worth it :) here's the reason why everything worked out so well.. everyone on the team was just SO willing to work with each other, and SO humble, and SO unified with each other. it was an amazing representation of the body of Christ. the day ran smoothly, and it was so cool to see the look on the families' face when they saw their new house! we prayed for them and left. on our way to dinner we learned how to play the FRUIT game. if u dont know how to play that i need to teach u because its the funniest game of your life. haha that day we went to go eat at rene's.. the best place to eat EVER. i had this amazing burrito hahaha. so that night we had a group devo then quiet time. that night i journaled about how amazing that day went. i realized that the night before i really had only made it all about ME.. and that's why it was so disastrous. there's such a joy in serving God.. and that's something i never wanna forget. i also learned that i need to be more humble. putting others before myself is super important. that's one of the biggest things i got out of that day.
okaaaay i don't wanna write about tuesday so you guys gotta wait till tomorrow night :)
God BLessssss<3
