Cling to God, Bastrop

   Throughout the week our teams have been doing work projects to help rebuild the community of Bastrop. One team was doing landscape work and the owner of the house that was being worked on started sharing with them all of the stories she had heard about fire victims, and their personal experience of them getting back to their regular life style. Personally, the woman started sharing her own testimony and explained to the team that her home was destroyed, she lost everything and almost lost her daughter. People she didn't know donated to the rebuilding of her home, but not all of the victims had the support that Mrs. Perez had. In other cases, no help was given and no family members came to help. She told the team to always cling to God, because he is the only friend that will always be there, no matter what the circumstance. This is exactly what the teens have been talking about all week: seeking God's face, and always keeping Him close.
