So far, this week has been very eventful. I feel that our whole Jr. High Sunday school has really come together not only as a Jr. high group but as friends. Whether it’s Erin spilling things (and Brandon “whooping” when she does it) or Chad talking about his best friend Steve the earwig, we have had many strange, hilarious times together. We have been painting the school all the days we’ve been here but today was a little different. Since rain was in the forecast, we did gardening, painting trim, and spreading stones. After a hearty hotdog lunch, we headed down to the boys’ home to cut down trees and brush to burn them. I love the team debriefing time we have everyday after supper. It’s nice to hear everyone’s reflection of the day and I love to share my own. To wrap up today, we saw a double rainbow cascading across the sky over the mountains just beyond our deck. Everyone asked “What does it mean?” I personally thought it was God’s way of letting us know he was watching over us. Just like it says in Psalm 46:1. “God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.”
