11: I landed in the Philippines eleven days ago. The community we serve starts just a few steps outside of our gate. The houses literally line the streets. What I mean by 'houses' are tiny little shacks made from tarps and scrap wood.
11: I get to serve alongside eleven amazing team members daily. We eat together, pray together, praise together, laugh together, and get the chance to build eachother up. I can;t wait to see how God uses us to teach and influence eachothers lives in the next few months.
11: i spent almost every day hanging out with eleven beautiful toddlers in the nursery at the children's home. I get to read to them, shower them, play with them, sing to them, swing them, hug them, chase them, feed them, protect them, and maybe even be a part of their smiles that day.
11: Every night before I leave the nursery, I recieve eleven little kisses. It lets me know that they love me. Why? because I fist loved them. Why? because Jesus first loved me and He sent me to tell them and show them that He loves them. So I will.
