Day 41-
Day 41... ???... That means it is officially over. No more walking around with 80 extra lbs. The joints in my hands still hurt from the excessive weight and strain put on them during these last 40 days. I can only hope that it heals, otherwise, I will always have a reminder of my time with Leah and Rachel, the jerry cans. With as much time as we've spent together, I can honestly say, I will not miss them, not in the least bit. In these last few days, I have grown to dislike them more and more. Every morning waking up, seeing them next to my bed and thinkg argggg... the morning walk from my bedroom to the bathroom, they felt like 100 lbs. each.
But like I previously said, I can put them down. Others don't have the choice. But now, thanks to all the supporters, and thanks to God, many will not have to make that long trek to get water. They will have clean water close by. Not only that, but they'll know that someone they've never met, never seen, on the other side of the world, loves them and cares about them. And that is as refreshing as nice, clean water.
Praise God!
suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope
