As I was doing my quiet time this morning, I was really struggling with how I was going to answer all these questions. I haven't witnessed any miracles and I can't say God has used me to help bring someone to salvation. All I can say to people comes down to one simple sentence: "I almost non-stop played with kids." How am I supposed to go back and tell all my supporters that all I did was round the clock play with kids? But then I came across a verse.
I got to work at the Children's home where I got to play with the kids in the nursery, shower them, feed them and put them to bed. I could go downstairs with the older kids and push kids on the swings, have girls do my hair, watch our boys play their boys in basketball. I was also here to see a girl and a boy get adopted to the states with a real family.
Or I could go into the streets outside our gate and play with the street children. I could play london bridge, ring around the rosie, duck duck goose, throw children in the air until my arms hurt and then some.
All that doesn't include the food and clothes my team got to help give out.
So maybe I didn't get to witness a miracle or help someone know Jesus like I expected. But I learned what it's like to really live like Jesus. To love until it doesn't seem like I can love anymore. To serve and to love the least of thee. Maybe it won't be enough for some people, but it sure is enough for me.
