For me this trip was not a spiritual high or anything. I went because God gave me some amount of muscle and I figured I could use it. I was not particularly looking forward to playing with the kids either but when we went to the projects my heart broke for them. For some of them the best part of their day was challenge circle and it was an honor to be a part of that.I have been pretty busy after the trip and I haven't really had time to think about what God has taught me but I do know this: God will use you whether you are athletic or geeky, small or large. One of my favorite memories of the trip is watching my team find their little niches, seeing their individual strengths come out. Whether its using your muscle (we had a rather strong young man named Brent, his arms were as big as my waist) to gut houses or your soft heart to love on some little kids with no bladder control. I guess being on the trip and seeing young adults like me serve God together helped me understand a little more about my own heart and my own passion for serving.
