habitat for humanity
i just got back on staurday night from habitat for humanity with my youth group. we went to owensboro kentucky and it was great. well...building the house was great. the kids not so much. they seemed like they didn't even want to listen, we would tell them one thing and it didn't matter they would do another. i guess that is how kids do it now adays. i know that i used to be a kid once as well and did the same trip that they got to do, but i respected the adults that went with us. i didn't disobey every moment i could. i know there were times i didn't listen, that is what you can expect from any teenager. but all the time! it is hard to believe that this is how kids are now.
it was a great feeling though leaving there from our wonderful southern hospitality. and getting hugs left and right from jen one of the house owners. it gives you such a warm feeling inside that it is unreal. it just mkes my eyes want to tear up. i get such a sense of accomplishment when i do stuff like this. this year i didn't get to hammer in a lot of nails i was the camera girl, but i still helped out where i could.
it is just amazing...for any of you that have never done something like that i suggest you do. it is very self rewarding. =)
