A place for habitation...

This past Saturday, we went to work on a house in association with Habitat for Humanity. It was a really great experience for a number of reasons. The house we were working on belongs to a super spunky little woman named Vicki (pictured above with Erik and Dave). She was so awesome. Throughout the day we talked and laughed with her as we were hammering, filing, sawing, etc. You could just see the gratitude and excitement in her eyes as we worked towards finishing her house. As we started that morning, we all gathered for prayer. I was moved by Vicki's eagerness to thank God for her amazing gift of a new house. She volunteered to lead the prayer, and I was humbled by the authenticity of her words.

Samantha and I learned how to use a coping saw to cope the edges of the trim that went at the base of each wall.
