This week I really embraced the rest and relaxation part of my sabbatical, I did not really work on any projects or anything. Most of the week consisted of binge watching Game of Thrones so I can catch up, only 4 seasons left!
I volunteered at Habit For Humanity on Saturday, this week we focused on cutting out the holes for the windows, getting the windows put in and weather wrapping the house. It truly is amazing how people can come together to help build a home for someone. While there was a few people I was working working with the week before, it was mostly new people, and seeing how we were able to organize and get going pretty efficiently was a sight to see.
The change for this week wasn’t great, as I’m sure you know we got a pretty good rain Monday night; that rain along with development going on behind my house caused water to seep into my home. Thankfully I had family that was able to come as it was happening and helped me to clean up and contain the water as best we could until it stopped. I believed that really helped keep the damage down, and am very thankful for that. It is tough seeing your house, something you worked so hard for, torn up. As it dries it gets better, and we can rebuild, you really have to stay positive in these situations, and turning to God through prayer is really helping us stay positive in this.
