10/60

With a super late night last night {see last post}, this morning's early wake up was a bit painful. It is a different, less severe pain knowing that you have a day full of actives to stay awake for compared to a day full of classes, homework, and group projects.

Today we woke up early to volunteer at an Agape House location near by. They were in need of lots of yard work, painting, and just basic upkeep. The facilities are available for troubled young girls/teenage girls to stay and find their identity. From rebellion to poor life situations, these girls are sheltered, fed and cared for while constantly being reminded of our God that loves each and every one of them. The family that owned the location cared so much and did not take lightly the responsibility of the job they had. They love each of of their girls and support each of their unending potentials. My parents and I were assigned a chipped set of stairs to clean and stain.


It was hard work, but it was a great way to help out and spend time with my family together. That and other projects consumed the day. For diner, my mom wanted me to cook a challenging {not macaroni out of a box} meal, so I picked Shepherd's pie! Anything with potatoes on it is a win in my book. It turned out well and I only used 50 pans and every surface in the kitchen to do it haha {not efficient at all}
Home is great. I hope my kids want to come back home one day.
