I am so excited that were leaving for NY in like a week and a half! I can’t wait. I’ve been reading Andrew Mann’s blogs. He’s the main guy at Graffitti 2 minitries. He writes about gangs and shootings that pretty much happen right outside his apartment. I think he’s the only white guys in his neighborhood. It amazes me at how the people respect him and accept him their. It gives me the chills at how God obviously placed him there. Reading some of the stuff that has happened through his ministry is so GOD. That’s the only way to describe it. I love that there is someone in such a hard neighborhood showing God’s love to these children who so desperatly need to know of God’s love and that their is a savior.
I’m sooooo thankful that I get the opportunity to help out. It stinks that its only for a week. But I just can’t wait to meet the kids and build as much of a relationship with them as I can. And I can’t wait to have fun with them and laugh with them and see them smiling and forgeting if just for a couple hours of the horrors of their everyday life. I also can’t wait for the opportunity to talk to their parents when they come by to pick them up ro drop them off. Its crazy how God will draw people before you even get their and all of a sudden someone open ups to you and wants to know more about Jesus.
I’m praying about where to do my internship this coming summer and this place is one of the places I’m praying about. So when I go it will either be a yes or a no…we’ll find out
Were leaving July 2oth for Atlanta and then catching a flight to NY Saturday afternoon.
