it was a good day...

Thursday ended up being a better day than I thought it would. :-) It’s one of the days that we have local outreach. Not that I don’t like local outreach, it’s just this particular place wasn’t quite my ‘cup of tea’ last week when we visited. It was fine; I got involved; I had fun. But you see, it’s an after-school program for teenage boys - the one ‘kid-group’ that I don’t work very well with. It’s SO easy for me to play with little kids; girls or boys. And I can handle teenage girls for you see, I have 3 younger sisters; only 1 younger brother. So, I wasn’t quite looking forward to this week. But as we were preparing our game plan that morning, I started getting my priorities right and I started getting excited for the afternoon with the kids. I kept reminding myself, ‘it’s not about you’. :-) I forget sometimes. As a team, we put together a sketch (drama) and decided to break up into small groups to discuss the sketch with the kids. Then we had a game for the end. So when we got to the school, we found out that we would have the boys and the girls for the program! That’s how outreach goes. :-) Anyhoo, the day went really well. The sketch went great, the teenage girls in my discussion group understood the point of the sketch, and all of the kids loved the game. All in all, it was a good day...

i was going to posts some pictures from the day, but this lousy internet cafe isn't letting me...
