4:30am thats the time I was woken up....5:10am thats the time I left the house....5:30 I walked into the doors of Mesa First and grabbed the first cup of coffee I set my eyes upon....6:00am I stared from the window in awe of those in need...and less fortunate than I....at 6:15 I remembered how blessed God has allowed me to be, having the simple necessities that many were unable to have. By 6:45am I was humbled by all of the grateful people who stood in line for food...By 7:30am I was thankful to be apart of such a gracious and loving church community....at 7:55...I was hot, tired, and in need of water...yet I was eager to keep going I felt lucky to be apart of this, to be helping my local community to be giving back to those in need. At 8:00am my heart began to be overwhelmed by all of the smiling and thankful faces of those who were receiving piles of food. at 8:15 I thought to myself Manna Food Bank Rocks! 9:15 came faster than I expected and leaving was the hardest thing in the world. Today was a day I will always remember...today I was apart of something important. Today was Awesome but even Awesome doesn't completely describe what this day meant.
