Praise God, today I started off the morning by giving my team that bible verse from Colossians 3:23. They really took it to heart, though it was hot the team had more energy with the kids today, and God blessed us by doubling the amount of kids that we had. For my community service project today I did street clean up where I also had a team helping us. I reminded them though it is not fun picking up trash, God picks up the trash in our lives everyday including us, so we can go and pick up a few pieces of other people's trash. Not once did I hear a complaint from them when usually other teams that I have had do complain. When you are willing to show the kids really can see the love of God, tonight I had a little boy named Jacob, who I was watching at the church for a while, while his mom was at a bible study. He is one of the kids that has really been placed on my heart these past few weeks, and every time I see him I try to show him love that he doesn't necessarily receive from his mom. I was playing magnetic letters with him and trying to teach him the different letters, despite my best efforts he just called all of them A's. I turned around for a few minutes to work on something and he started saying "lala". I did not respond, so he tugged on my pants and yelled "lala" at me. I realized he was refering to me, and that is what he decided to call me the rest of the night. When his mom came to pick him up, I asked her about it and she said it was her name. When giving Jacob back to her, he started to scream because he wanted to stay with me, and it just reminded me that if you take the time and have the willingness to show them that they can see God's love.
