With some rays, IN-N-OUT, and God!

         Well today was the beginning of VBS! Starting off the morning with an early devo looking out around the sky line seeing fog and a beautiful silhouette of the mountains and hearing all the exotic birds filling this country with life! It is truly amazing to just sit back in my wheelchair and try to grasp the fact that God made all this for us! Then off to band practice for the crazy children songs, what a way to start the day! Once the room was filled with children the mood lifted to a time of great worship with all the kids yelling and screaming our ears off! VBS, was a blast just being a kid again myself and getting to talk with the guys about which Lego's are there favorites, or competing in who can sing the loudest! Amazed by how much the kids sell out and completely give it there all, such a humbling experience! After the time with the crazy kids we went down the mountain and get to experience an outreach at a few parks, where we walked around and gave bagged sandwiches to those that wanted one, but most importantly praying for and with people that were around the park! Listening to stories upon stories and just loving and being loved my the people of San Bernardino! Then a part of the night that was a different experience, the experience of eating and In-n-out burger's! All I can say is, WOW! Each bite got better and better, and before I knew it, it was gone! So I got another one! Through all the fun and excitement I have truly been stretched in the way of encouragement! Its amazing to see how more excited and uplifted people are when you make the effort to let them know how much they mean to you and how blessed you are to have them working along side you and being part of the trip! Crazy how some Cali air will form and change you..haha no it was all the help of God and his calling on my heart to be a encourager and uplifter! Thanks for all the prayer and it will be wild to see how God will continue to shape this trip! Please continue to pray and keep us in your thoughts! Day two tomorrow can't wait!
