Victoria's post

Hey There Bloggers J

     My name is Victoria Sneyd, and I am currently your group’s worksite leader here in the beautiful area of Blue Knob, PA!  I realize that most of you do not know what that entails, therefore I will give you a brief overview….basically I supervise, designate jobs, answer questions, obtain needed supplies, and lead a short devotion in the mornings which constitutes a verse or two and a prayer. 

     I want to start off by saying that I absolutely adore the students and leaders here that have become my adopted family for the week!  They have now been working for two days and they have yet to stop working.  They also have maintained such positive and Godly attitudes even though some of the jobs have been disgusting, tiring, boring, and time consuming.  That in itself is such a blessing, because whether they notice it or not people are always watching them and how they interact with each other through the heat and the long days of hard labor.  It reminds me of one of my favorite verses for the summer from 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NLT) which states, “So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable.  Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.”  This group has definitely put this verse into practice this week and it has been encouraging to myself to be able to work alongside them.

    I must take a second, however, to be a tad less serious and tell you what is REALLY going on here at this worksite…your staff leaders are the BOM DIGGITY!  They are very inquisitive about a lot of things but I have found that I love the questions because they show that they want to do the best job possible and that takes a huge load off my shoulders to be able to put trust in them.  However, I was scared when they first arrived because the first thing that “Dr. J” told me was that he thought he was passing a kidney stone…needless to say he is perfectly fine two days later!  Today, also a few of the guys decided that they wanted to make every single wasp in PA angry…And if I have to hear about how much they wish they could take their shirts off one more time!!!!! J I’m just kidding though; it hasn’t really bothered me at all.  The girls are all becoming professional painters…so parents, if you need any painting done you shouldn’t need to hire professional help J  Alright I’m running out of time, but I really do love this group and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for them for the rest of the week and then into the rest of their summer!
