It Happened Again Part 2

I hate to sound like a broken record, but it's getting pretty crazy when we go to church. Our verse for the day is from Philippians 4:19, "And my God will meet all my needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." So what does the good Rev. Rolle preach about today?? Needs and the spiritual discernment it takes to separate which needs are important. As always, the group members turned and looked at each other with astonished expressions. One member asked me if we planned that. Nope. God planned it. When you get a Godwink like that, you have a good feeling about your trip. After lunch we got to work at the feeding center. We built more fish traps, fixed the trash area gates, mixed and poured concrete for a new grease trap (Greg loved that!), painted the front steps and around the windows, and cleaned both eating areas. With 20 new members, the leaders were curious to see how quickly the group would integrate and find their niche while working. It didn't take long to see that these kids were ready to work. Even though we finished a little bit quicker than Raoul thought (which is typically the case), there wasn't a lot of standing around as they searched for work to do. After a delicious spaghetti dinner, we came up with teams names and flags. The team name has to connect to the team bandanas. Here's what we came up with. Sunset Servants - Nick P, Dawn, Becca, Ethan, Katie H. The Wild Way - Jesse, Fred, Karen, Sarah S., Dani. Fruit of the Spirit - Dan, Colleen, Leah, Tina, Katie W. Cheetahlicious Christians - Tom, Clare, Michael, Casey, Sara R, Abby. Chubbs - Greg, Thomas, Laura, Paige, Megan, Sarah B. Hope - Ken, Trish, Nick J, Anna, Sara D, Hannah. Of course we ended the night with the first day of small group devotional time. From the short discussion the leaders had at the new leader's gazebo, it sounded like each group had a great conversation and is really ready to let God work some of His stuff in them this week. On a personal note, I've been doing laundry since 6 pm. Not lots of laundry, just one load. The dryer turned my clothes from cold wet, to hot wet, to hot damp, to now almost hot dry. Ah, the joys of mission work.
