Diagnosis Hope

Saturday, God's wonderful light was able to shine so bright!! I spent the entire day at Christ Church as one of the many volunteers that showed up to help with the Dr. Asa's Diagnosis Hope Free Health Clinic. I was so grateful to take part in this. We were able to see about 350 patients.

I was so moved by the amount of patients that came in along with the amount of volunteers that gave up their Saturday to be God's servants. There were 10-12 doctors and nurse practitioniers, about 30 nurses, and close to 200 other volunteers. Most of them were probably between the ages of 18-24. These kids could have been anywhere else and doing anything else in Nashville, but chose to spend their Saturday with us. We were on our feet all day, but I did not hear one complaint out of anyone.

But the sad reality is, is that there are plenty people in our community, your community, and all over the US that don't have insurance and no way of getting the proper healthcare they need, that did come or was not able come to the Free Health Clinic.

The way I see it...All humans were put on here earth by God, the same way you and I were, and that they should not be refused healthcare due to lack of insurance and funds. Their health is just as important as yours and mine. I wish there was more that I could have done. But there is more that I am going to do!!

One of the best parts of the day was being able to witness to others, share what God has done in my life, and experience the beauty of what He is doing in my life. And what is even better, I was not the only one that was able to witness and share God's work. God is Great!!

Laundry...ugh!

I HATE laundry!! Well...just the fact that I have to go to the laundromat just to wash our clothes. (We have a dryer.)
Here is how a usual laundry trip goes... As long as I already have the money and detergent.
1. Carry 2 baskets and 1 laundry bag full of clothes down to the car. (PLUS: We live on the 2nd floor)
2. Drive 5-10 mins to the laundromat.
3. Carry the clothes inside.
4. Wash 3-4 loads at $2-3.75 each load. (Luckily...they have multiple machines)
5. Load the wet laundry in baskets and back in the car. (They are much heavier now)
6. Drive back home.
7. Unload the baskets and carry them up the stairs to the 2nd floor.
8. Dry each load, one load at a time. Time consuming.
Unfortunately, I have to wait until each load is done drying, folded or hung up, and put away before I can head to bed.
I am usually exhausted by the end of the night!!
Going each week makes me appreciate the little things in life.

I can't wait until I can fnd a washer for cheap. I have been looking for one that we can afford, but by the time I can search on Craigslist, contact seller, and wait for a reply; they have already been sold. :( So if anyone has a washer that they want to donate to this family in need, please let me know.
