Serve

This past Sunday I was able to serve my church family at Brookside by working in the nursery and helping with the backpack giveaway!

Working with these people is one of the greatest feelings, standing in the nursery holding baby Sara while talking to her mother about her struggles with life and only being nineteen years old.  It is me helping ten year old Genesis blow his nose because he was born mentally challenged and is unable to do it himself. It was me loving on a three old girl while her mother is listening to the sermon. As I walk out of this, one of a kind nursery, I can smell poverty on my clothes from being with all of these young children who just need some loving.

The backpack giveaway was an awesome event, we were able to supply the kids from Brookside church and surrounding neighbor with backpacks filled school supplies according to their grade level need. There was a bounce house, shirt making and face painting. It was great to see the church people having fun with each other! I am looking forward to getting to know the church family better :)
