Today for me (amy) was pretty cool. I'm not at a worksite with the youth. I stay behind as they all leave for their sites. Not going to lie it's tough. I want to be apart of the action. I want to have cool stories about the people we are helping. It's selfish but it's the truth. But today I realized I am doing something...just not the something I longed to do. I'm supporting my youth, supporting the other worksite teams, supporting the bellflower staff that is working so hard. I spend a lot of time thinking and praying for the groups, for the people they are working with, the issues that have come up over the last couple of days. I'm playing with others kids so they can do their job, like so many of you have done with mine ;) I'm driving kids here and there, bringing Popsicles to warm worksites...I'm doing things I would normally not think of as mission trip jobs but that's why I'm here this year....to support the work. I realized today that this too is supporting God and his plan. And as a bonus I went to In N Out because a work team needed to there...it was tough but oh so good ;) So yes, today was cool because God showed me His plan and I didn't resist it.
Tomorrow is beach day...rest, fun and sun...and plenty of sunscreen. ;)
I hope to post some pictures tomorrow! Thank you for your prayers for our team and all those out here! I can't wait for the youth to share what's being done!
