Whatthe....yes, you are reading the heading correctly. Let me explain :)
Imagine you are at a Micro Mission with your church in a school cleaning a library, because it's needing some SERIOUS help. You go to a box of cleaning supplies in search of some heavy-duty stuff that will deteriorate the gum off the bookcases(and the occasional spider the size of Godzilla). You open the box, and what do you find? A spray paint-looking can that says "Top Gun, foaming solution". So I'm thinking OOHHHH MAN! This is what I've been looking for! So I'm looking to see if gum and spiders are on the list of things that it will clean, but they weren't on there!! I mean whats up with that?! ;) No, instead I found something much more interesting. It says: Kills HIV. Wow. I had to read it like 5 times before telling everyone that we've got the Noble in reach. It was the highlight of the day. Ahh...good times.
I absolutely LOVE Mission trips, no matter how big or small. They really make you think and take a step back from your life a little. Yeah, you may be going through hard times-who hasn't?-and life probably doesn't seem like a basket of roses, but we are SOOO blessed. We have so many things that we just take for granted, like being able to go to church or having a school with no bullet holes in the windows and bars on the outside. It is always so humbling for me to be able to help out people who really need it.
What do you enjoy doing that is "humbling" for you?

Ahh Jordan! You're pretty amazing! I needed that like now! LOL. I would say, just sitting back and thinking about stories that my grandma told me about when she was little, becasue they had virtually nothing. Mission trips do that too, but I have to realize that past generations did with SOOO much less than we think we have to have now. Ya know it?
Well...to be honest I never enjoyed being humbled. :) but I had so much fun with you girls. I was kinda worried I was gonna have a crappy day with all the stuff that's going on, but being able to hang out with you guys was the highlight of my day!
Wow! Anti-HIV. And you thought gum was the problem...haha.
Humbling? Probably washing Kody and Jacob's laundry...LOL. Or cleaning their toilet. ; )
No, really....serving in any manner is something I've learned to enjoy....it's one of the ways to show Love. Learned that from Col 3:23 ; )
