This was a good week.
Now, I can't say Reading Camp has been easy but it hasn't been as challenging as I thought it would be. You know that my real challenge has been with Houston's paved web. Streets. Traffic. Picking up people. I'll get through it. But i've already had, shall I say, a tease, of some hectic stuff during reading camp that I will have to endure with VBS. But, I don't know, I think God may be gently breaking my heart.
We went to a ropes course mid-week for team building stuff and, of course, it was a blast. That night, I went to a high school devotional at Dennis Jaeger's house. That's when this week shifted slightly for me. It was just so cool sitting in a room filled with inner city hispanic, african-american and caucasian teens-adults. Those people are pretty much exactly like us, as I already knew. I can't quite put that unique devo experience to words.
It was rewarding and uplifting, I guess.
Some other interns and some Impact teens (teenagers who go to Impact) went to the Johnson Space Center to check it out etc. It was pretty cool. It wasn't just for fun though. Remember, Impact teens were with us. They're pretty fun too!
Now, tonight. About that same group watched the movie Click at this girl's house. I had forgotten how much I liked that movie. Basically, it just reminded me of some things that I so often seem to overlook; I take some things for granted that I personally vowed to always appreciate. But then I realized that "Hey! I'm in Houston, Texas hanging out with some cool kids, teens and older people that I could help and that could equally help me. I guess I'm doing pretty good."
A gentle reminder of God's unfailing, powerful love is always appreciated.
