My pastor always says when you find a need fill it, and today I got to do just that. This lady had been taking care of her mother who just recently passed away. Since her focus had been her mom her house took a back burner. A leaking roof recently caused part of the ceiling to collapse in on her house. She is currently unemployed and hurting on money. However today a group of people went to serve the socks off of her. As a group our mission was to reroof her entire house and fix the collapsed ceiling. The on and off again rain halted the work on her house but we were still able to remove all of the old shingles and replace the rotted wood that was underneath. Hopefully, the team will be able to shingle the entire roof on Monday and have her house back in the shape that it should be.
As I was helping collect all the fallen shingles and toss them in the dumpster one of the other volunteers looked at me and said, "I wish there was a way we could do this every Saturday." I agreed but little did she know that she said that to the right person. God has been working in me to set something up like that. Maybe God spoke that through her and into me, but I am not sure. All I know is that when she said that I knew God was calling me to do something.
I love getting to go out and serve and love on people when they just need that extra help. I am not saying all this to brag about the fact that I went on my Saturday to help someone, instead I am saying this humbly thanking God for the opportunity to go out and be the light for Him.
