WEEK TWO

This past week was extremely fun for me to experience. After church on Sunday morning, I went to CiCi's pizza because the youth group was doing a fundraiser there for their mission trip. They were clearing off tables and getting refills for people. I walked in unsure about what I was going to be asked to do and wondering if I was going to get to know any of the youth. However, both worries were soon gone. I began helping clear tables off and refilling drinks while carrying on conversations with some of the kids. It was the beginning of a great semester with them. I was able to demonstrate service but was also humbled and taught by the same people.
After CiCi's, later that night was regular youth group. It was a good night as well. Pastor Matthew talked with us "staff " about what he wanted us to be doing over the next few months and also told me that I would be helping out with a small group of girls. This got me really excited! He also explained that he really desired us to see this semester as more than a grade...but to see it as an opportunity to really begin the ministry. Overall, my spiritual life this week has been great, thanks to the 21 day challenge...and I can really begin seeing the parallel. This week, like last week, made me really anxious and excited to see what the weeks to come bring.
