Currently Listening to: “Space Jam” by Quad City DJ’s (same group as “C’mon Ride the Train”)
Another day that went by in a flash. First things first: I missed Lost. I hope to catch it sometime though. Anyways, beyond that, today was great. (As you can probably guess, I’m pretty excited to be here) This is definitely no accident that I am here. Someone during “Yea Gods” (a chance to shout out praise and thanks to God) spoke and said we all came here because of God’s plan. It’s weird to think, YouthWorks brings all these people together and expect 4 strangers who’ve never met after 2 weeks of training to put together a week of service and mission-type work for different multi-denominational youth groups. This is strange, yet exciting work we will be doing. I am proud to be on a team with Guy, Gennie, and Alissa. My prayer (and I hope the reader’s as well) is that we would work cohesively as a team and that all the glory goes to God. There have been so many people who have become influential here as well. I thank them for their insights and patience with the entire staff.
This was my first time using first aid skills. Evan was lucky (?) enough to give me practice as he cut himself with his pocketknife. Silly Evan…
Today was also the first day since Sunday that it was gorgeous outside and clear enough to see the mountains from here. Give God the glory for his creation! There is also a food pantry on site at this church, and tonight was their day to handout food and misc. groceries. There was also a service there in Spanish. Needless to say, there were many Hispanic kids and families there. It was to see their ambition and innocence. They are a welcome breath of fresh air. I was talking to Trey today about kids and innocence. Kids don’t care who you are (race, socioeconomic status, popularity, etc.), they just want to play, get attention, and be loved. When do kids start putting up the walls and barriers of racism, sexism, and ageism? Who instills these “values” in them? Parents, media, peers? It sure isn’t nature that pits class against class. Just something I was thinking about…
Finished While Listening to: “Brand New Day” by Sting
(I promise these are the songs that are when I start and finish!)
