B.D. Gail, Tx

God taught me a lot today. We finished picking up trash in the park and it looks gorgeous now. I talked to about 7 people in all (or tried to) who didn't speak English. It was very discouraging, because I knew I was being obedient to the Holy Spirit, but I was like "God, why are you doing this?" One lady actually came up to me, asking me why I was picking up trash, saying it was a good thing. I feel a little bad that I haven't built a relationship yet and I know I shouldn't as long as I am obeying the Holy Spirit. I feel that maybe, since some of our trek members have awesome stories, God's teaching me to rejoice in others more than myself.
