So at first I was very hesitant to take the $20. I thought this seems like I am too small to be a part of something so big. I had many ideas, but none of them seemed quite good enough. For some reason every time I prayed about it the thought of paying for student's laundry came back to mind. I thought my idea was pretty lame and what would this do for anyone. I ended up making signs with bible verses and putting them in the laundry room. On Sunday afternoon I just went in the laundry rooms in Scholte Hall and put money in the washers and dryers. I met this girl who asked me about the poster and why I was paying for laundry. I told her the story and she thought it was so cool. The verse on the poster was one of her favorites. It was Jeremiah 29:11 and she told how she just needed to be patient and remind herself not to stress out because God would take of her. Amen! It was really awesome just talking to a girl about God. So that is about all I did. I am glad that I have gotten a lot of out this experience because in the beginning I was so nervous that my $20 wouldn't be doing enough.
