Day 5
Today is Wednesday. I have always loved Wednesdays! When I was younger, it meant running around a church basement to see which team would win the night and have the most points. As I got older, it meant going to church for Missionettes, which is a Christian scouting program for girls. We earned badges, had sleepovers, went swimming, hung out with best friends, and basically had a blast. In more recent years, Wednesdays meant His House. An hour and half of worship and lesson, then dinner, and hanging out with the some of the most awesome people ever. Now that I am done with college, Wednesdays have reverted back to Missionettes. I am no longer a student. I am a leader. I help out the main teacher and make sure the kids are paying attention. I help them learn their lessons and memory verses. For the past 4 weeks we have been working on healing. Tonight, I realized how much impact my presence has on some of these girls. Sure I have know it before, but it's different when that is all you are doing there. Back in middle and high school, I was also learning my own lessons. I did help out, but it seemed like I had more priorities towards myself than the girls I was helping. Now I truly see what I bring to the table. I love it. I love that the girls want to be around us and listen to us. I love that they love us. It is the most rewarding and fun job to do. I love it soo much!
I work with 4th graders and they are awesome, sometimes a little squirrelly but awesome. My girls are Myranda, Ciera, Sienna, Deanna, Dyana, Anna, Emma, Lily, Lou, Mackenzie, Kionna, and Suzy. Of course, I share these girls with my leader Ms. B, who was one of my original teachers when I fist started, and the other helper, Skylar, who I helped "mentor" or lead when I was in high school.
Eating today was awesome! I had the best veggie sandwich today! It was tasty! I also made more cowboy caviar but I put jalapenos in it and it's too spicy for me because I can't drink milk with it, nor do I have anything to eat it with besides veggies which don't have a great barrier for spice. I also accidentally got some in my eye and boy that hurt soooo bad!!!
I am looking forward to the retreat this weekend. I will be with my His House friends and in the UP all weekend! Sweet!
James 5:14, 15
Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up.
Love Love Love
