After a great day off yesterday, the North Carolina team woke up, had breakfast and worshiped with the staff at ReCreation. We heard another morning message from the head of ReCreation, on service, where we looked at the passage where Jesus washed the disciples feet. We were encouraged to look for opportunities to serve throughout the day, not only through digging, but also serving our teammates and others that we come into contact with. We then headed to the work site to continue our work on the septic trenches and replacing the roof. In a truly "only God" moment, the rains that were foretasted to come mid-day did not come until we had packed up and loaded the buses at the end of the day, allowing us to make great progress on the trenches. We headed back to ReCreation to clean up and had dinner. After dinner we shared in an ice cream sundae bar with the other group that is staying at ReCreation in an attempt to serve the staff here that has been serving us all week. We then began our nightly porch time where we recounted our day through "Remember that time" and "I saw Jesus" and we also joined our voices together to worship the God that we have been experiencing first hand here in North Carolina. Madeline Duke gave the talk tonight about serving and our attitudes behind that service. She spoke from Mathew 25 where Jesus tells the disciples that when they have served the least of these then they have served Him. We continued the discussion on this idea in small groups where we looked at what serving could look like not only in our time left in North Carolina, but as we come home to Williamsburg as well. We are excited, but also a little sad for our last day at the work site tomorrow, where we seek to serve John and his family by finishing their roof and septic system. Thank you all for your prayers! We look forward to see how God will continue to show up during the rest of our time here!
