I was able to spend time talking with those we helped. The talking was more important than work accomplished. Lori, the owner of Horse Rescue Mission sticks out in my mind. Her story of how her faith guided her and allowed her to survive 2 horrible ordeals was amazing.
We started our day with Lori leading us in a prayer to ask God for the strength to do the work she had for us, and to thank God for sending us to her. As the day went on we heard bits and pieces of her story. By the end of the day she had told us of her terrible horse accident a few weeks before Katrina, and how her belief in God healed her without surgery. Katrina hit, with spine injury, she went into rescue mode to care of the horses. She turns no horse away and donates the horses after bringing them back to good health. All this is one using her savings and her belief that God will send her people like us to help.
Her faith and belief was renewed after surviving Katrina. To me, this week was an affirmation in my faith and belief. That God does have a purpose for me. As long as we have a mission to work with, a trip going, so will I.
