first day of hope begins in new orleans

well sunday night i slept really good,and woke up at 7am and with alot of energy ready to get started to help bring hope and stability back to the community of new orleans.
my teams job will be is to put up drywall at newgloryland baptist church in new orleans it feels like you know tim the tool man taylor from home improvement and ty pennington from extreme home makeover to make a difference in peoples lives and to show the love of jesus christ in us to this community the clock is ticking and we need a plan to get this done so we will bring the emotions and care and love of my team to make a difference so there is one question "can we do this people,yes we can so lets do it"!
we will be working from 9am to 5pm today then we will return back to firehouse church for a well deserved shower then dinner ,then our worship service with brian and steve with the message ,then maybe a game of spoons for those who know how to play we had an exciting game with scott gunner springer bob and anna bendler alexis princess springer and brian it got loud but alot of fun so we had alot of fun and bonding time with team members.
in the bible it talks about God's mercies everyday and God's blessing will be shown the next 5 days as we show our love for these families that we dont even know and hopefully we will bring God to the community of new orleans.

matthew 5:3-12
blessed are the poor in spirit for theres is the kingdom of heaven
blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted
blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth
blessed are those who are hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled
blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy
blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God!
may these verses toch you in such a way that God will shine upon you everyday and let his love bring joy and happiness in your life.
