New Orleans and the kids are amazing!

I am often confused about what I am good at in life. I enjoy so many things but if you ask me what I am good at, I could not tell you. I am passionate about kids and service. I love hangin out with kids while doing service. I am here in New Orleans with kids while serving. I love it. It does not mean I am good at it. What are you good at? I am shocked that I really can't answer that question well. I am a very confidant person in what I do. This also doe not mean I am good at it.

The kid have been amazing her in New Orleans! I can't wait to bring another group of kids. We have painted, organized stuff, and moved a lot of things. I got the chance to do what i enjoy and that is meeting new people and making them laugh and have a great time being together. Is that what I do best? I don't know. I did have a great day. I would say the best day of the trip. Yesterday we tied Christmas trees to be dropped in the levees. I have bumps all over my arms. Not complaining but the kids were awesome yesterday as well.

We head home on Monday with stories and hopefully changed lives. Our goal is to make God even more famous. It is not about us, but all about God. I love these kids so much. I don't think they really know how much I care for them. Well, I'm going to bed. Another Great day tomorrow. Peace,

Purity Study and New Orleans here I come!

Well, I have been busy teaching 7th grade boys about purity. I and another female teacher are teaching every class period between last friday and February 20th. It is going well. I am having a lot of fun although teaching all day. I am exhausted by the end of the day. I am not getting much sympathy from my fellow teachers. Oh Well, I enjoy 7th graders. They get my jokes and listen very well to the material I am presenting. I told them I am the non-sexpert. I can tell how to not have sex. I'm good. I should take this on the road. Pray that these boys continue to listen. I am getting good feedback from parents as well.

New Orleans here I come with 35 other people. This is my service trip with Junior High kids. Our winter break which I need will be spent in New Orleans serving along side junior high kids. I love our group and I look forward to what will happen while there. Please pray for our efforts.

New Orleans, School, and Service

I am learning a lot as I am getting older about people.  I don't want my world to be small.  I like a big world where God is.  I just returned from New Orleans where I learned how to give God the glory for the very life I am living.  The people there are incredible.  I am about to lead a group in a few months back there to experience the real side of New Orleans.  

Nothing really matters to me as I compare what life is like back here in Georgia.  We have more than we need, and we want more.  I am blessed.  I know this, and my prayer is that my students will see how blessed they are and want that same blessing for others.  I do believe a man should work, but what I saw in New Orleans were a group of people loving where they are and wanting to continue life right there in New Orleans.  Wow!  

I returned a changed man today!  A man that could now see a bigger value in having a partner to work with to help all people.  I am not sure that has always been my focus.  My eyes have been open, and my prayer is that God is in control and as I make myself a better person, he will send on his time someone to continue my journey with while here on earth.  Wow!

I do have a real big problem.  My problem is that I love making things better whether people want it or not.  I have to learn to lead a quiet life, mind my own business and work with my hand.  I believe that is scripture right there.  May you join me in praying that I learn this and apply it to my everyday life.  

Go live for God!

What a day!

I have had one of those days. You know that day that everywhere you turn there is a problem. I still doing good today. I am gong to leave work and go to my favorite restaurant- "Cracker Barrel". I guess most people drown their sorrows with alcohol, Food would be my choice. I do justify it by saying, I got to eat somewhere why not my favorite. Those of you concerned about me blowing my diet, don't worry, I'm not on one. I look this good without dieting! HA!

I will be heading to New Orleans this week to survey our mission trip during winter break. I look forward to our kids going, and watching along side of them as they experience helping those they do not know. This is why I love my job(ministry) so much. I get to do so many great things!

Dating, Dating, Dating! It this is all I will say about that!

Family is not bad, they love to give me true's about myself. I need to share it with you one of these days. Not today, I'm going to Cracker Barrel!
