Higher Grounds Blessings

I am amazed at what God can do when you ask. For the last few months, I’ve been praying for new volunteers for HG. I have wanted to get it so that the volunteers we have can take a week or two off a month.

In the last 3 weeks, I’ve had roughly 8-10 teens come to me wanting to be volunteers. WOW!! I’ve been here for over a year and a half and I’ve never had this many kids wanting to help. Last week, I had an orientation with some of them. They stuff they told me was amazing, especially since we’re talking about teenagers!!! One told me he didn’t care if it was taking out trash and doing dishes. He just wanted to be here and help. I don’t know about you but when I was 16, taking out trash and dishes were on the bottom of my list of good times. They also want job experience and want to be treated in the same fashion. It’s amazing what God does when you least expect it. I had the expectation of adults coming to help, NOT the kids we’re trying to help! But alas, what can I say about the creator of the universe. I guess He just does what He sees fit. Peace out!

Oh and by the way, I still am looking for as many adult volunteers as I can get! Hint Hint!!!
