hello all! so, i guess, i can start this off by saying what i'm doing. i'm currently in florida, getting ready to leave for haiti tomorrow. i have the amazing opportunity to work with SP once again, doing logistics for a month as of now.
i really love this organization and am really blessed and so grateful to have this opportunity. tonight, the team had dinner and our team leader here, richard, read from acts 11:27-29. this is what it says.
27 During this time some prophets traveled from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them named Agabus stood up in one of the meetings and predicted by the Spirit that a great famine was coming upon the entire Roman world. (This was fulfilled during the reign of Claudius.) 29 So the believers in Antioch decided to send relief to the brothers and sisters[h] in Judea, everyone giving as much as they could.
what he said was so good. he said the believers in Antioch decided to "send relief" and each "gave to the best of his ability". that's what we're doing and what a word. sometimes, even if you have enough degrees or whatnot, when you're surrounded by amazing people, it is easy to feel inadequate and insecure. and Richard just simply stated, do what you can each to your ability. and that's the thing- we ALL can do something- each to the best of our ability.
well, i'm off to get ready for bed. i know this is exactly where i'm supposed to be and i'm ready to hit the ground running! stay tuned as the stories are sure to come.
