A Day Late ... Sorry

So, this post is going to be all over the place, no real theme, sorry. This past week has been full of ups and downs. God has been softening hearts that we have been praying for, in addition to opening doors where we least expect it. Praise Him! Unfortunately though, I have also faced some real issues concerning injustice and racism. I wish I could go into detail about that situation, but I am going to pass. Quite honestly, it makes me sick to think about, much less type about, and I would just rather share it in person for anybody who is interested. With all that being said, God is always encouraging me with His goodness and faithfulness.

I am loving building solid relationships with the kids in our community. There are a handful of girls that I really try and pour into. Today I hung out with my future mentee (hopefully) and I also spent some time with another seventh grade girl. One of them has been working on her anger issues, but had a little fallback this week. We went to the track, walked around and threw the frisbee a little. It is always such a blessing to take kids out of the community, if you will, and spend quality time with them. I see different individuals when I do this. It's very interesting. We had a good talk. She always seems to talk through her anger and come to realize she is in the wrong. She is a great kid, just some heavy issues. Then there is my little mentee ... she is crazy! In a good way! I think we feed off of each other. I also think I was probably exactly like her when I was younger. We both love sports and just hanging out. We went to the park and played a little badminton and the frisbee version of P.I.G. It was tons of fun. I love seeing these kids grow!

I find myself loving what I am doing more and more. I love people. I cannot deny that. I love the challenge. I love being a servant of the Most High God. Nothing makes me happier than seeing God work in the lives of those around me when they don't even know it! We are so very blessed!

Love Deeply!
