Cornerstone Brentwood High School

Day 4

Today we shared our "highs" & "lows" in our small small groups today. It was so hard for me to choose because I had so many ups & downs. It varied from meeting great families & fellowshiping with my friends & fellow leaders in a whole new way, to being the team that finishes their house last three days in a row & having no free time to relax. Let me tell you . . . God has taught me that not one second is my own to spare. Nearly every minute of this trip God is speaking to me, teaching me thing I never knew before & Showing me my He chose me to go on this mission. You see after being the last team to come back to our cabins & working a long day, you just want to chill. But Clint told us that one of the leaders had it on his heart to give a little sermon. I immediatley said "no way i want to play my guitar & chat it up with my buds" then God was like "no. you need t hear this". After making that desision to obey Him I learned one of the most basic things that I was missing from my life. Right away I saw results & fruit & my shame was deminished.

Alrighy other people ant to blog so i'm gonna get off haha. Thanks for your prayers & Thank you parents for allowing your children to come, server because as I type their lives are changing.

Today we got to shower. It was amazing. What was more amazing though was spending time with the family we were building our house for, and talking to the kids. They loved the bracelets we gave them and just painting with me and my sister and others was a blast for them. They took the paint and put it on the dad's face, and themselves and it was fun. What was sad though was that while we were leaving, they had the most joyful expression on their face that had ever seen. They were just so happy and smiling and laughing inside the home as we were driving away. It s the best moment that I've seen while I was here. I was about to cry.
