As I reflect on the past few weeks with volunteers and working on multiple houses I realize that I have learned WAY more than I thought I would ever know about rebuilding a home. Early in the summer I realized I had to put my pride aside and simply ask when I didn't know how to do something or what to get at the hardware store. Proverbs 19:20 says, "Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise." By putting my pride to the side, acknowledging that I don't have all of the answers and listening to advice and accepting instruction I have learned leaps and bounds more than I thought possible.
One thing I didn't expect coming into the summer was how much I would bond with each new group. I have been blessed by a lot of the the volunteer groups I've been working with. Anything from making me a lunch and inviting me to sit down for awhile and eat with them, to joking around while they are working, or just thanking me for all the work I've done for them; it is truly a blessing to work with so many wonderful people each week.
