This past week has been a little crazy for me, more so spiritually and emotionally than anything else. Why you may ask? Well, I’ve been going through some emotional “journeying back” and looking at things like relationships with guys in general from my past and just recently and evaluating and seeing where I am and where God wants me right now. I’m still not too sure what exactly God wants and where He wants me but I know that whatever He decides I know will be the best for me.
Also this past week I experienced something quite eye-opening. Last Wednesday I helped out at the school again but this time as a substitute teacher for a good part of the day. As I got to hang out with the kids and learn more about, I saw how awesome and unique God made each and everyone of them. Then at the end of the class I talked to them about respecting people and each other more so when someone is talking and sharing their thoughts. I then turned to a young girl and asked her a question I was for sure knew the answer to, “Do you think your thoughts are important?” She looked at me as if I was crazy and shook her head as she replied, “No.” Of course I was floored a bit and pushed into it a bit more, “Well, why?” “Well I’m just a kid… what do I know?” I keep forgetting that I’m not in America anymore where we encourage kids to speak their minds and tell them that its okay to speak up when they think they have something important to say… but here its the complete opposite where kids are bouncing off the walls, out of control at times and either not even discplined or severely discplined to the point of abuse. So of course I explained to them what I thought about the matter and pointed out the fact that if they don’t start thinking that their thoughts aren’t important then they weren’t going to succeed in life in wanting to become a soccer player, a doctor, a teacher, a preacher… whatever they wanted to become and not only becoming those things that they want to become but being able to help do new and exciting things for their community and helping it change and grow for the better!
I ask right now that you be in prayer for me but for these kids that not only they start valuing their thoughts, gain wisdom and learn discernment as well! Also be in prayer for me as I try to apply and get ready for school! Otherwise, that’s it! Hope all is well for all of y’all! Later!
