On Thursday of last week myself, Tressa, Jessica, and Aimee went to the House of Hope. It truly was a a humbling experience and I am so grateful I got the chance to be apart of it. When we first got to the house of hope, I struggled a little bit emotionally because I had very strong emotions of sadness when we first got there and were being showed around then remembered Dr. A telling us before we went that "remember, this is much better than the alternative" which helped me stay on track.
During our time at there, we got a chance to play with the residents (all girls), which I loved because you could tell all of the girls really enjoyed having visitors which they do not get often. We also helped the staff with lunches which I thought was great because we got to give them a little bit of a break as well and I am sure they needed it.
Out of all the things at the house of hope the one of the thing, that really stood out to me during our time there was the staff's faith. One of the staff member who got involved with the house of hope through her church even said that she was working through Jesus which I thought was incredible. I also have a strong faith and the staff members at the house of hope are exactly what it is all about for me, helping others and doing it with a giving heart. Matthew 40:25 now is painted on one of the walls there "Whatever you do to the least of of my brothers, that you do unto me."
