This week my work group has spent a lot of time working with
men and women veterans here in Asheville.
We clean around the facilities that house people who are trying to get
back on their feet and merge back into real life. While I think that the work we’re doing is good, I
cant help but think deeper about the lives of these people, and how we only are
experiencing them for a few days, these people wake up and have to live like
this every single day. Some of
them suffer from physical injuries, some have mental diseases, and some are
even trying to find refuge form domestic violence situation. While we as a youth group will return
to Northville, these men and women will continue to have to deal with these
things long after we are gone. I
also have gained a crazy amount respect to the leaders of the many
organizations we have visited that have dedicated their existence to improving
the lives of others. I truly have
seen God working through them and it is inspiring me more and more every day.
