The undergrads in my church had a retreat this past weekend and they needed volunteers to drive people. Do I want to help out? Yes. Do I want to waste gas? No.

Even for the signups, I had only signed up for the way to the retreat center and not for the way back until I found out the passengers will be the same. Although I wasn’t attending the retreat myself as a single adult, I wanted to be a blessing and decided not to let stupid gas get in my way. As I got in touch with those who needed rides, one girl suddenly told me she’s not going to the retreat because of a homework due that evening. I tried to convince her for some time and she decided to go because she found out from a friend that it’d be okay to skip that homework. Yay!

I didn’t do much but to drive some people back and forth and get to know them as the gas meter would drop, haha, but I’m glad that mere two hours of my life can help others in little ways 🙂
