How did God grow you on this trip?
It was mostly about putting my own needs and agenda aside, and focusing on glorifying God. Mission Navajo was pretty gratifying overall, but there were some down moments. One example: during some carpet tear-out I got pretty discouraged...my utility knife was dull, no spare blade, the carpet wasn't cooperating, was by myself, and it was messy, dirty work. I started going to a place in my head, where I questioned whether this was doing any good, those sorts of thoughts. It's hard sometimes when we're in the middle of it, and we don't see His bigger purpose. Thankfully, my funk was pretty short-lived. I was reminded of Greg's comment during one of our pre-trip meetings: "This is a demanding trip!". You got that right. I was pretty spent physically each day.
