well, i thought with internet at the house i'd post more often, but it doesnt look like i will :) really though, supposedly our summer is gonna start slowing down a bit now that the major stuff is out of the way and we're moving to a more routine schedule. a lot of you are probably wondering what my "crazy" days consist of well..here we go:
6:15-wake up, quiet time, by 6:35 i'm getting ready/showering/breakfast & fixing my lunch. since i'm 22 i dont qualify for the free meal program all the other counselors get!
7:15-sr. counselor devotional at the SHAPe center (aka the church/House of Worship)
7:50-i leave to pick up 3 jr counselors and kids that dont live in the projects...usually theres anywherer from 5 to 10
8:20 arrive at the highschool, pass out my name tags to my 12-17 7&8 yr old girls. do the Good Morning Cheer and then
8:30 is breakfast
9:00 is large assembly where we do worship, a large group game-today it was a boy and a girl racing to see who could eat a jar of baby food the fastest
9:30 we load the charter bus and go to the middle school for activites
9:45 is small group lesson/bible study
on Mondays and wednesdays we have reading for 20 minutes, then crafts and then free time on Tuesdays and Thursdays we have sports, then reading then free time
at 10:58 we are loading the bus to go back to the higschool for lunch
11:20 we are eatting lunch and by 11:45 we are in the courtyard practicing our stomp rountine. competitions are on fridays before we leave for the field trips
at 12:00 i take my kids home and then head back to the highschool "Whats UP" time (debreifing)
the afternoons are filled with different errands including going to sr ladies bible study, cleaning vans, the church, visiting kids, playing in the neighborhoods, study tyime for Bible Study on Fridays, going to youth girls bible study, being chris gaines secretary :)
the Lord has been so faithful in providing me rest in any way He can, so i've had a really encouraging week with my girls and the families i've gotten to hang out with. the counselors and i are getting along well. the longer i'm here in Brenham, the more i think the Lord has a much bigger plan for me than i thought. Back in April I just applied because i really didnt have any direction and it seemed like a new, neat, challenging thing to do-but now i think i've been given glimpses of the "Bigger Picture"...who really knows except our wonderful Father.
exciting news for the week: i get to help lead worship on sundays at the church...i'm just singing-no guitar yet ;)
for all you in college station, i will be in town sometime Saturday for most of the afternoon and evening most likely-i'd love to see yall! gimme a ring
thats it for now.
peace, alisha
