2 Corinthianns 12:10 "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakeness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in my weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecuations, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Today was the first day at site, where I will be every Monday-Thursday for the next 10 weeks. We mainly just preped and sorted through donations to see what we had. Then, we got to enjoy a fine lunch with our site pastor.
After lunch, we went on a mini tour of Denison ( I hear there is a much larger tour tomorrow!) and just had a little conversation of how things would run after the kids got to site on Monday and every day after. Brother Dan explained to us what kind of home situations the kids would be coming from and to sort of prepare us for what was ahead of us, if its possbile to be prepared for the unknown.
On the way home from site, Courtney, the house pastor, asked how we were feeling. Physcically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Physically, I felt fine; mentally, I was extremely exhausted. When I remember what was said in 2 Corinthians about how when we are weak, we are really, actually stronger. When we are weak, drained, and think there is no way we can continue we can only rely on God to help us get through those trials.
This is a good reminder on the 5th day and will be an even better reminder on the 50th. That no matter how weak we think we are, we always have a God that loves us and gives us the strength that we need in every situation and decision we come to in life.
