This weekend was great. I did nothing on Friday but chill. That was amazing. Then Saturday I went to a christian concert. That was fun but so hot. Then Sunday I went to church at the Met. It was interesting and fun. Then I got to see the Highland group. LOVE THEM!! :D Then we all went to the Rangers game. It was so much fun.
Monday... Was great. I got to work with the youth. I had to send one boy home because he just wasn't acting very well. Then we had lunch and I left for Urban Experience. Today we walked around the neighborhood and learned about some of the history. Then we went to the library and ran into this lady who wanted to show us around and let us see these pictures. I thought we didn't have time but it turns out we did. It was amazing. I loved every minuet of it. It was fun for me to learn about the neighborhood. Plus through that we got a calendar and we might be taking some kids over to the library and kind of partnering with them. It was really cool. I got to tell a few people about what Fortress is today and that was awesome.
Then we went back to the building. I have been having some trouble with one young lady in the youth group. On Thursday another intern and I took her and another kid to the pool and she was very disrespectful. So today we got to sit down and talk. She wouldn't talk to me and I basically just told her that the only reason I wanted to sit and talk was because I care about her and I am here this summer because I want to be not because I have to be. She still didn't respond but this is when something cool happened. We then took the youth group on a drive by prayer time. It was awesome and she was with us because she didn't get to go with the youth today because of Thursday. I was just thinking about her and what I could do to get her to talk to me and just to have us get a long. Well as I was thinking I felt like God was saying just don't give up. (I think that this thought might have been sparked by a homeless man who had a cart that said Never Quit and then something about Jesus. I am not sure though. He was awesome himself. He was gathering wood to build a fire to feed some homeless people and he himself is homeless.) Anyway so I kept thinking about how I could get this girl to just get a long with me this summer. Then I realized it is NOT ABOUT ME! It is all about the kingdom and while I can still peruse her and never give up I can also pray and ask God to help me. So that is what I am going to do. Pray that God gives me the words to say around her and that we slowly become closer to each other. Because with God on my side anything is possible. :D Well that is all I have for now. I hope to post soon. We shall see though. It is a busy week. :D
