Yesterday I was so tired that I did not write a post SORRY! Today was different because we switched up our schedule. In the morning we went and filled sand bags and then went to hangout on campuses in the evening. You would not think that this would really be a big change but it was. We got to really hangout with the Fargo Fire Department guys that have been pulled from their regular duties of fighting fires and have been filling sand bags. Today I hung out with Paul. This guy was a huge dude. He said that he could lift like 330 lbs. Holy crap that is more then I weigh. But Paul is an awesome guy he has two little girls who are under the age of 3 and he has a boy on the way. I found out that he is not only a very strong man but also a strong Christian. I had the opportunity to encourage him in what he was doing. This really meant a lot to me. Today made such an impact on me that a I am going to go back tomorrow and spend all day with the FFD boys. Yea there are 4 of us going to spend from 10:30 am to 5:30 pm filling sand bags. Some would say we are crazy and I say yea I am cause who in there right mind would go to Fargo in the first place for SPRING BREAK! But here is a verse that we looked at tonight in our nightly devotion that really stuck with me.
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.1John 3:18This verse just spoke to me because how can I show Paul that love that God has placed on and in me then by standing shoulder to shoulder with him to help him protect his family and city by filling sand bags. Just think about that and how you can do something for someone in your life because my life has to change when I get back or I am denying God and that is not what I want to do.
