Monday Update - "Tenderizing"






   

This is how we spent our Friday night...

This past Friday, a few of us stayed after church service to tenderize pork chops.  We all thought it would take about 30 minutes or so, but it ended up being 2 hours!  Our job was to take each pork loin and get a mallet and tenderize the meat until it was thin.  

Well...all the hard work paid off!

We were able to raise $1500 toward our Mission trip with the One-Day Restaurant!  A lot of moms stepped up and helped cook food and it was so delicious and everyone who came out just stuffed our faces with Donkatsu, Spaghetti, Kim Chee Fried Rice, and Dukkboki.  

It was a great effort on everyone's part and everyone just stepped up and did what they had to do.  The next day, a few of the guys had blisters on their fingers and Will said one of his fingers had gone numb.  

It made me think about our lives as Christians.  Maybe life is not always perfect, even as we believe God.  Maybe we all need a little "tenderizing" in our daily walks and although it might be painful at times, we cannot fully learn to be servants until we are "tender."  So when that mallet hits down on you, lets try to accept it with thankful hearts know that God has a better purpose for our lives.

Also!!!!
Thank you for the people who have been supporting
through prayer and money donations.
We are all working hard and praying hard to
get ready for this trip.
