For those of you who don't know, every Wednesday i come into the church from about 10am-9pm to get experience in the field of middle school ministry. This week is a busy one getting ready for camp and making sure everything is ready to go. But i am super excited about it and feel that God is going to do some amazing things this year at LOVE WINS. And they have a sick disc golf course! :) This year instead of doing t-shirts, we did disc golf discs for every kid with the wildfire logo and the date of the camp and everything, and they were less then half the cost of t-shirts! But aside from the discs I'm more excited about the relationships and time to help the kids experience true love.
Me and Kurt also went to lunch today with a student who has cancer and is going through chemo. It was very tough to see his dad and see the hurt he is going threw. I hope that me and kurt can continue the relationship with him an help him through all this.
Wildfire today was very hard for me. every once in a while i will have one of those nights were i feel very discouraged and feel like im never going to connect with my kids. And to put the cherry on top of everything, for the first time very, i had a student throw up during the game, not fun. (eric will defiantly be talking to me about this one) But im excited for camp to give my students the jump start they need, i just hope it will last.

You are learning early on perhaps the greatest lesson you could learn in ministry; it aint easy.
ReplyDeleteAnd dont worry about Eric...he will talk to me not you.
You're awesome!! It's cool to see you around the church and hear how you love kids and ministry.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the throw-up situation but the cool thing is that now you know never to do that game again ;)
