Today was our first day on our site, Kingdom House. Kingdom House provides many services for the community, including a day care, summer camp, food pantry, thrift store and services for the elderly. As is typical for our first day on site, things started out a little slow as we had to go on a tour and learn about Kingdom House. Then, we divided into our work groups. We did landscaping, worked in the summer camp assisting with the children, completely demolished the thrift store (in preparation for our remodeling!), and began a basketball camp. We figured out through our mathematical skills that the number of hours that we will be putting in at Kingdom House over the four days would take one person 24 weeks to accomplish!!! That is what we call being SIGNIFICANT! We look forward to seeing all of the changes that we will create this week!
After our work day, we showered in a very nice YMCA--Yay! We were stinky! Then, we found a Five Guys Burgers & Fries and a Steak 'n Shake for dinner. For dessert, we had St. Louis custard-a new treat for most of us. Clay actually turned down extra fries AND the custard due to all of the food he has been consuming. So don't worry about us not getting enough to eat!
Our devotion for tonight centered around a Shania Twain song, "Today is Your Day". The song reminds us that "nothing can stand in our way". Our Bible verse was 2 Corinthians 13:11-"Finally, brothers, goodbye. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you." This related well to our Morning Glow topic about perception. Read the following... "GODISNOWHERE". What did you read?
God is nowhere? Or God is now here? It all depends on how you look at it. We are learning to adjust our perceptions to be more optimistic and positive.
