Each and every night since I began my job here at YWAM Panama, I check my hands and feet for new cuts, scrapes, bites, or bruises. This is, of course, after I have washed of the obvious thick layer of dirt and sweat. While I am doing this there is one thing I can gurantee, I am smiling! You see, that is because I love my days here.
Each day holds something new. I might be working with a hammer, rake, sledgehammer, pick-axe, garden hose, drill, saw, or broom. Talk about variety! Working on grounds has taught me a lot. It has also made me work harder than I have ever had to, in my life. Sometimes I feel like I am Mulan, and the lyrics to the one song play in my mind, "I'll make a man out of yooooouu!" Which is an entertaining thought. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
So in the evening if you ever think of me, you can be sure that I am exhausted, putting on plenty of polysporin, and smiling from ear to ear.
"Most people are about as happy as they make their minds up to be." -Abraham Lincoln
