Here I am Lord

At the beginning of this week I didn't think that I would write an entry, thinking that I wouldn't have anything as profound or inspiring as other people but today I've actually thought of something. We went to a dinner today for the entire group and for the people's whose houses we are building the speaker/leader mentioned one of my favorite church songs "Here I am Lord". He talked about how the song was appropriate for our trip because we are doing God's work and we need to listen to him to continue to do his work. But for me it brought me back to when my grandmother, mother, and I would go to church and I would get excited when this song would play, I still do. I'm not sure why this song reminds me of my grandmother, I don't know if it was her favorite but it makes me think of her. She's gone now but I know that she would be proud of what I am doing here. "Here I am Lord" brings together the past, present and future for me and what I could be doing. I think of the happiness that I would bring her doing this and the happiness that it has brought me now and will continue to bring me when I do this next year. This entry is dedicated to the parents, grandparents, and guardians that allowed us to go on this trip and that are hopefully proud of what we are doing. I hope that other entries in this blog inspire others to join our group or other groups like ours and feel what we are experiencing.
