During my time in North Carolina, I did ministry alongside all of the women of Activation Route, Gap K. I did various activities such as digging up a mailbox, weeding, and a ton of painting. Throughout the two weeks, I did a lot of “background” work, work that can be easily overlooked. As a kid and a young adult, I have strived for affirmation and recognition from others in what I do. Acknowledgment for my good deeds and services. My time in North Carolina has shifted that thought process into getting my affirmation and love from God. I can walk away from the job site feeling fantastic about the work I completed without receiving a pat on the back or a “good job”. I can walk away knowing that I am serving our Lord and being the hands and feet of Jesus. I feel good about the work I am doing and know that I only need affirmation from Him. I can also rest in the fact that God is and will always be proud of me.
