I think that my family would agree that the highlight of our summer was our family mission trip. We were on a team of 22 that went to Jasper County, SC.
I have to admit that from the time that we committed to going until the time that we left, I could think of 1000 reasons why we shouldn't go. I wasn't against it, I was just a little overwhelmed and a lot unsure. We were so busy with other things, I found myself at times dreading the thought of even having to get ready to go.
But,now...I wouldn't trade that week for anything. It was amazing! God is so good and so big and He is just waiting for us to step out of our comfort zone and trust Him to use us for something good.
The "debriefing" pack we got from the mission office at our church said if anyone asks about your trip, give them a brief answer and maybe share a story of something that happened. But don't overwhelm them with all the details and a ton of pictures that won't really mean a whole lot to them...but guess what! This is my blog and I am just dying to share many of the stories of what God did and show the 682 incredible pictures that we have from our trip (that number is no joke!!). Okay, maybe I won't post all the pictures, but there are some you just have to see! So, now let's just start at the beginning...
