Tuesday, MOGO

This morning we woke up to a little rain and a cloudy sky, however, that didn't keep us from working hard! We spent our morning working and weeding in the soon to be community garden which will be run by the kids at common ground. It was a gift to be apart of helping establish something that will continuously benefit CG and the neighborhood. Today was the first day of VBS! I helped lead a group of two beautiful 8 year old girls. We did a craft, listened to a bible story, and played great games! The girls in my group were so precious, and so hungry for Gods word. It is so refreshing to see a glimpse into young ladies with such pure hearts and spirits filled with joy. For the short time I have known them, they have already touched my heart. Two kids got into a fight earlier, and my group and I helped to calm down one of the kids. They used God's word, and lovely words to bring comfort to him. It was great to see. I think we all can learn so much from these kids. Even though things in life don't always run smoothly or perfectly, with God's joy in our hearts, and child-like faith, great things will take place. I am so thankful to be surrounded by such a beautiful group of people, and I can't wait what else God will reveal to us this week.
