the best worst happiest saddest hardest easiest encouraging and discouraging week of my life

 I can say a lot of things about this past week. I can tell you that I was sick one day. I can tell you that people got on my nerves everyday. I can tell you that I am ashamed of my lack of experience with a hammer and nail. I can tell you that my anger for the cruelty on earth toward innocent children makes me actually want to kill people. I could say that it infuriates me when people speak before they think, that they yell before they count to 10, that they can't always get along. I can tell you that it bothers me that people make rules and then ignore them.
I can also tell you that I have never been more fulfilled in my life. I can tell you that I fell in love with a family of total strangers I can tell you that I was sent to Lake City this past week by God, not because of a promise I made to the youth and not because I was asked to go but because God placed me there. I am overwhelmed at the more than 30 camps around the state of South Carolina that did the same thing in the past couple of weeks. I'm grateful for the relationships that I've made to the bonds that will last a lifetime with not only the people I shared a bedroom with but with the people I worked on the house with with the people that fed me with the people who hugged me with the people who gave me free drinks at the lumber store to the people who gave us free supplies at the concrete company.
all of those things that I can tell you about are wonderful and great but for the rest of my life when I think of Lake City in 2014 I will only see one thing... I will see a beautiful little girl twirling around on a smooth floor in a living room floor safe from rain and storms in a house safe from falling trees in a yard with no dangerous stump to hurt herself on in a house that no longer has black mold to make her sick. She has bathroom lights that work, and ceiling fans that work and will help to keep her house cool...God placed us in Lake City but he placed ladybug McFadden in my heart...its always about the children with me and it will always be about the children with me I'm going to sleep much better knowing that she's not going to have cuts on her feet from dancing like a little girl should do in her own house! God bless Salkahatchie...God bless its supporters and God bless the McFadden family.
