Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Just reading some words from Rick Warren and he reminded me that what matters is not the duration of our life, but the donation of it.
This very unpredictable place where each of us are finding gifts and courage that we didn't know we had, just to serve the need of the day. The sense of working together for a common goal is so strong here, not because we are all connected as humans, but because we are all connected as children of God created to do his work.
We set off yesterday tired and weary, but within hours were loving these kids and seeing their joy, we were all lifted so high. God is so faithful. Chris did a devotional that encouraged us to just give our availability to Him yesterday, we did, and it worked!!
I feel like an alien here at times, the environment is like another planet in places, but when in the presence of God, I feel at home.
Anyway that is my boring ramble of the day. Glad you all got to connect with some of the team this morning.
God bless you all
Elaine
