What a long weekend! Emotionally and physically draining...Nathan and I dealt with our first major issue with the youth group. Several of our youth were on a school trip on which a student from a different school committed suicide. Details aside, we were able to minister to our students and help them cope with something so difficult, especially when one of our students saw it happen.
On a lighter note, we had our first Sunday game night to which 11 youth showed up, 3 of which had never been to our church before. 2 of them even came in off the streets because they saw our guys in the parking lot having fun. So cool to see the impact like that! Beyond that, 4 of our girls invited us to go out to eat with them afterwards, and it was cool to have that bonding time!
As far as my subbing experiences, I was in a 1st grade classroom today as will I be tomorrow. I was already assigned to teach on Friday of this week and Monday of next week for 3rd grade. But today, I picked up another two days this week, which officially puts me in the classrooms all 5 days this school week (a total of 8 school days in a row)! It's great! I love it!
God is good, all the time!
