Sunday night we had our closing program for AFA. We went out in Aliquippa Impact style not having food until about 5 minutes before guests were supposed to be arriving, in addition to running around like chickens with our heads cut off. All that to say, the closing program went great. It's funny how the presence of the Lord shows up even in times like these. It was wonderful to see our kids in an atmosphere where they were celebrated for positive accomplishments. Unfortunately, so much of the press here in Aliquippa is about what is going on negatively in this community. One of our goals at Aliquippa Impact is to celebrate the youth in this community for who they are and what they can become. While doing so, it is a beautiful reflection of what the Kingdom looks like.
It is hard to believe the summer is coming to a close. Our Day Camp's closing program is tonight, paperwork and such tomorrow, staff fun day on Friday, and then the staff leaves. I am sure I will need some time to adjust, considering the year round staff has been surrounded by 15 + people this summer. So it might feel a little "lonely" at first - but trust me, it won't take me that long to adjust :) I think it's at these times where we are oh so thankful for what people did and how people served our community this summer, but at the same time the summer needs to come to an end.
I'm excited to head back to Georgia next week for some R&R. I miss my people down there! SHOUT OUT!!! Anyways, hope this blog update finds you doing well and enjoying life!
Love Deeply
