This is the day the Lord has made!

Every morning before breakfast, Jimbo always lead a devotion and often he would start the morning by shouting, “this is the day the Lord has made,” and many of us would respond, “let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Other days, Jimbo would proclaim, “the Lord is good,” and we would respond, “All the time.”

For me, it was excellent to be living in and working in a Christian environment and to be reminded every day, that this is the day the Lord has made. Although AmeriCorps is a government run program and has no religious affiliation, we do partner with any non-profit. Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical Christian organization and Camp Victor is run by Christus Victor Lutheran Church.

The time I spent at Camp Victor and in Biloxi certainly encouraged the development of my faith and personal relationship with the Lord.

While in Biloxi I was able to join First Baptist Biloxi and to be baptized. I have met so many wonderful families and the support that I received from the college ministry team was phenomenal. My experience in Biloxi would not have been the same without the community of believers that I met through church.

I will definitely miss my Mississippi Gulf Coast family and a little piece of my heart will be there forever. I can not even begin to explain how much I have taken from the experience and I am so grateful to all whom I met who have made that experience what it was.
