Rough Couple of Days

Don't you just hear the Hallalujah chorus when looking at this pic?!

It's been a rough couple of days for me...

I know God has called me back here and I am so happy to be at peace about the decision. The rough part is knowing that I have to leave these students soon and go back to school.

Yesterday at youth I was pulled aside to speak with a student. She has lost her virginity as a 15 year old. She is hurting and I am hurting for her... I felt like such an idiot when I was talking to her about how God could turn her life around if she would just let Him. What do you say to someone who just wants to tell you something like that. AND why does she feel the need to tell me. I guess I am the most stable person in her life...

I also had to man-handle an elementary school autistic child today at Kids Camp. It was crazy, but I knew I had to grab him and hold him till he calmed down which he did.. I'm just glad his mom understood and thanked me for doing it...

So yeah.. the past two day total emotional DRAINAGE!!!!

In other news... Bill Walsh the GREATEST coach of all time pasted away today... Yes, that is right I bleed Red and Gold (now Burgundy and Gold.) I found a quote that when I pass away and go to be with the Lord I would like to be remembered such as this: "The essence of Bill Walsh was that he was an extraordinary teacher," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. WoW the only other people I know who have had that honor are Henrietta Mears and her mother. To be known as a teacher and yes I am going spiritual after talking about the Niners lol! To finish my previous statement. To be known as a teacher is such a great accomplishment. To know you touched lives and they changed because in my case God working through me... MAN what an accomplishment. If only I will be so lucky.
