All for one and one for all

Sundays and Mondays are dedicated to Housekeeping, which means that all 10 of us are in charge of cleaning. And yes, that means cleaning toilets, showers, doing laundry, and folding sheets and towels. I know most of you may be asking what is the correct way of folding a fitted sheet. Well, let us thank Young Life for showing me the proper way and when I come back home, I will show each of you. It is quite fascinating.

I never thought I would enjoy cleaning toilets and folding sheets as much as I do. But I have to thank my father for this. I guess his OCD came in handy after all.

Thanks pops--You would be proud.

My hands don't allow me to leave a single spec of junk on those toilets and not one crinkle on those folded sheets. Which is great--until everyone is waiting for you to finish.

Maybe that is something God is teaching me...

Letting go. Not always having to make everything look so perfect. Leaving some of that junk behind...

Housekeeping days may become my favorite though because it is a time where all of the interns get to spend time together and work together. Who knew folding sheets could possibly bring 10 young kids together. It is also a time where I can think and sing..and scrub.

This morning, I woke up to what felt like a blizzard. Most Coloradians (a word I am sure doesn't exist) would think I am crazy for thinking this is anywhere near a blizzard. But it has been snowing pretty hard all day long, which is pretty intense.

Tonight, we are having a "Brinner," a word I had never heard of. It is breakfast for dinner--I just call that Denny's.

Jenna and Grace will be our chefs for this evening.
