Week one

I sadly only have time to share a few thoughts about last week because I only get about 22 hours off per week and most of that was spent doing laundry, a little sleep and helping a friend fix his car in another town. Anyways, this last week was truly powerful. I felt the Holy Spirit moving and speaking through me, and in the community that we were in, a little town called Grafton. There were about 80 people on the trip from two different churches. We helped do projects 8 families houses as well as a variety of different outreach activities everyday. I was given the chance this summer to lead the morning devotion for whoever wanted to get up a little early. Truly it was all the Holy Spirit moving as He spoke through me and it was perfect and exactly what everyone needed to hear because it was not of myself! :) The very first day I was all ready to work, get out there and serve, but the night before I had a bad fever and was up all night with it into the next day. So I laid in bed......while everyone else was serving..truly a humbling experience and a perfect thing to happen to me to keep my focus on God's work and not my own!!! I saw lives change this week, people impacted by people whom they had just met, roofs patched and a variety of other truly amazing things. I will go into more detail the next time i get Internet. Please pray that I will continue to DAILY surrender myself to the cross and let the Holy Spirit indwell within me. Thank you my friends God Bless!!
