Before going on my senior mission trip i had numerous expectations. Going along with that was the fear that it would not be as amazing as my other mission trip experiences. Looking back on our mission to Montgomery, Alabama it was one that was different than any other and i loved it! The last night we were at Common Ground i was woken up in the middle of the night with a thought......We had been taring out the walls of a house which most all of us in particular me felt like it should have been torn down all together and built all new. I had commented to a couple people that i thought in the long run it would have been better if we would have just torn the whole thing down instead of delaying the inevitable decaying of it. My thought when i woke up that night was that i was like this house. Knowing my sins and screw ups i should have been torn down with no hope of a promising future, but with christ he goes through our lives and 'takes out the bad boards' allowing 'new good boards' to fill our life. Through this our life, which should have been hopeless, can be built with a strong foundation. Christ does not allow us to be destroyed no matter how far we have strayed or what sins we have committed. This week i re-gave my life to christ. I am filled with excitement about the changes that i am going to make in my life. I pray that Christ will make me strong to follow through with these changes. God is amazing and i am truly blessed. Ill see everyone back in E-town!
