i am getting back into the swing of things after a weekend away serving in Galveston. it was really nice to get away and do some hard work for someone in need. we (Emanda, Dinah, Tammica, Frank and I and some Houston church members) served by gutting the home of a man and wife who have not only lost most of their earthly possessions, but were also dealing with the husband's lung cancer. it was so amazing how impacted and encouraged the family was by our service...i was just thinking that even once we leave they still have such a long way to go! i can't imagine being in that position. i am praying that things really go smoothly from here for them. they have a long road ahead of them.
some of our groups cleaned out garages, tore up floors and even folded laundry! it was so refreshing to be serving with disciples. we were able to stay together and have meals and evenings playing cards and singing and talking. it was incredible! i made some new friends (which was my goal) and left really feeling refreshed and ready to do all that God has for me to do.
matt did well with eli. he had support available, but made it ok with him and one of the single brothers, Ben. it was so good for him to be mommy for a minute! especially since i will be leaving on a cruise at the beginning of december and he will be here alone with him for a few days. SCARY!

Good for you--for your willingness to serve and also your ability to get some time away. The cruise sounds like it's going to be so much fun. :)
I've had similar thoughts to yours about the recovery efforts. There is SO MUCH to do; and even after volunteers come in and help, it's a long road. However, all we can do is be faithful to do the part God assigns to us. Thanks for being such a faithful sister!
