Running On Empty

Although it is only the second day of our VBS week, I have learned a lot about myself and missions. After the 36 hour bus ride and our first day of mission work, I felt as though I was running on empty and about to crash. I began to wonder (along with everyone else) how I would survive the rest of the week when the first day wasn't even complete.






However, that night we met together as a church for praise and worship. Once we gathered, everybody started singing and laughing. Jose started cracking jokes and before I knew it I was feeling pretty refreshed. It was then that I realized it's ok to reach empty because God finds an opportunity to fill me up. So I have made it my mission to completely pour myself out to the children of San Luis Potosi, knowing the Lord will restore me by night.
