This week for me kind of started out really slow. Coming off a weekend were I was really being pushed out of my comfort zone and being stretched by God in ways that I really didn’t know before, was new for me and it consumed a lot of my thoughts for the first couple of days of this outreach. I was able to talk to one of the girls from JMU this week while working in the therapy room, and really just share my heart for why I am here now and what could possibly be a future in missions and it was great to connect with her on that because I know she loves it here as well! Let me just say that this whole team was/is amazing!!! They all have such a heart to serve and it really shown through in the work that they all did.
Our group of girls (Hillary, Jenn, Allyssa, Kelsey and Julia, who was from the Jupiter High school group) that came to Genesis were so much fun, there was never a moment where we were not laughing and having fun together at the site unless you count having to watch them say goodbye to the kids at Genesis or watching them drive away in the vans at 2:30 this morning. I really am going to miss these guys but fell like I have made some great new friends in the process! They have inspired me I have a new outlook on being here and it is really exciting. Not that it wasn’t before but they just showed me something different this week, and I think it has to do with having fun and serving God with an open heart, and not to let anything get you down. This team reminded me so much of going through a TEC weekend! Sitting and singing songs, "Devotions" if you are familiar with TEC, and just the fellowship of a Christian community, I have really missed that a lot!
Going forward is a new adventure for me! And even thought every team will not be exactly like JMU, they will all have there own, something, to bring to the DR and the people here just like this team did! God is good and he has reasons for everything, I am defiantly learning to put all of my trust in Him and in the process learning a great deal about myself and the work He still has for me here!
