Salkahatchie Day 2!!

So this is day two!!

I am still stoked to be here.  I am stuffed like a pig after Bill’s team prepared an awesome breakfast.  A ton of food!

After church and a few site meetings and a trip to Lowes/Lake City Lumber we will have a lot of free time today. This is good…I need time to collect myself and gather my senses.  My anxiety levels rise and fall as I prepare to do this work that I have never ever done before. 

But after talking with my team yesterday evening, I see that I’m not the only GREEN one here.  This makes me feel a little better.  My camp team is full of experienced workers too so I feel pretty good about the work that is about to be done.

As I laid down to sleep last night, trying to sleep with teen horseplay going on down the hall, I realized that all these kids are here to begin a lifetime of outreach and mission work. I am proud to be here helping to guide them and bring them closer to this world of giving that I love SOO much!

I cannot believe that I have spent such a huge part of my life hating! 

I vowed to give myself to mission work. I replaced a life of selfishness, greed and hate with the acceptance of HIS Grace and His Love!  I grew in Selfishness, Hate and greed through hate, Hate of God, Hate of Life and Hate what I had allowed my life to become.

It took a lot of time and Doctors’ time for me to accept God’s plan in my life, to remember the loss of my son as God’s will and not God’s punishment.  So in atonement for all of the things I failed at, and for the Love and care that I cannot lavish upon my son, I do this work for others and I created for God this Organization to feed the hungry. To ensure the care for the people we still have here on Earth.

Only through compassion and Love can we be good disciples for God. Only through Love can we set good examples as the body of Christ in this broken world.

My prayer today is that we all find our place in this hurting and needful society and in that place we find God’s Grace and accept it as what it was intended for…OUR SALVATION !!

Love to everyone!

Rob!
