5:30am is early... and feels even earlier when you find muscles you never even knew you had! Soon everyone will be up and waiting in line to pack their lunch... then another line to eat breakfast... then fill the coolers with water and ice... make sure all 22 have their bags, lunches, hats, boots, etc. So from 6:00 - 7:00 we all run around like the fire ants we have grown to fear! But after we hustle around the camp in the morning making sure we are all ready to go we circle up at the vehicles before heading the 20 minutes to Gulfport to the job site.
There is something about that circle that takes the fear and pain away. I know I have felt and experienced God's love through everyone on this trip. It is amazing to see how little things like someone asking if you have your water can make you smile. The team has been blessed, not only by the opportunity to serve the project, but by serving each other all day. Humor has been a blessing and there is plenty of it throughout the day. I never knew making someone laugh could make the difference between them giving up and pushing through. This is truly awesome stuff!
Well it is off to start the process by making lunch. As you think about us today continue to pray for safety, unity and that God touches us and uses us in unimaginable ways. We serve an awesome God and our team is enjoying showing God's loves through Daybreakers in a practical way! We truly are the hands and feet of the body.
