I know it has been a whole week without a blog but it's very hard with limited time and sleep, and also very small screen... It's very tough to blog daily :-) next thing I get will be an iPad lol. Where to start.... Metro kids last saturday was amazing and sad but in a good way the kids that live In these Taft homes are wonderful yet hardened kids it was a blessing to be a part of their lives I'm looking to many more saturdays with them. I have pictures of alot of things this past week has consisted of it's just I have no way of getting them on here... So once I get around a computer or iPad I will post them sorry... Sunday was a more laxxed day, involved morning service and relaxation then headed to Austin and Shannons house for dinner he is the worship pastor we had a great talk about our historys and come to find out there kinda similar, so it was pretty neat hanging out with such a cool couple and their kids. Monday was my day off so I slept I. For the first time while here with no alarm ooo yeah amazing. I did my laundry and cleaned up a bit and got ready to go to think tank to brainstorm ideas for wed night youth group. Tuesday of all days was the worst ever! I was horribly sick and had to be up at 530, and didnt get done with everything until 730 at night bad day, so I'm just gonna leave that one in the dust! Lol. Wed I felt quite a bit better but, Ashley and I had been informed that we were going to be in charge of getting everything except for the message setup and ready so we spent all morning and afternoon getting ready for the youth. I will be posting a video of what we did, it consisted of 7 acts and was very distracting lol you will see it shortly, the message was about staying focused on god, it was very cool. Thurs we helped with the hope store and just helped out the oaks which is if you didn't know already riversides 2nd campus church, their grand opening is today (sat) and there is tons of stuff to do so we have been trying to help out there as much as possible. And on fri we helped again with the kids program(reaction) with visitor bags and setting up things at the oaks ... I know everything is kinda vague and summed up but with pictures I can go into detail alittle more. I will keep up with my blog more consistently. This week has just been crazy with being sick and such, sorry. All in all God is doing great things in such a small time period that I've been here it's just absolutely mind blowing! He is speaking into my life more than ever and I'm able to just focus on what he has to say it's so great. Thursday morning I was looking through my devotional bible my mom and dad had gotten me and, found a note they wrote to me that just really pushed my emotional envelope lol I kinda just thought back and relized just how ignorant I was to everything that involved god. I look back now and shake my head at the person I used to be and laugh.. I'm just so mystified at how people can't or won't believe. I feel so blessed to have the people I have in my life. You all are amazing thank you for your prayers and support! I'm going to be putting pics up tonite so watch for em:-)
Just in is officially back i'n action ha ha
Oh and the verse my parents wrote to me was proverbs 3:5-6 and I'm not going to type it out because I'm encouraging you to open the bible and read:-) do it because it's words of life:-)
