This week has been an adjustment back to my old schedule. Although I enjoyed my summer schedule, I must say I welcomed not getting up at 5am every morning! I miss my young friends from summer camp. But, I look forward to spending more time with my teens again.
As part of my job this past week, I had to make contacts with people from the community. One thing I learned early on is that to attract and keep teens, you need to feed them! As I started last winter, I had an idea that I never had a chance to complete. But, now, I am working hard to make it a reality. Since there is no finding for the center, there is no additional money to feed them. But, I believe that as a community, we can definitely take care of that. More specifically, as a Christian community, we can definitely take care of that! So, what I have asked is for churches to volunteer 1 week a month to donate fruit, chips, and homemade cookies. We don't need alot. But, it means a lot to the teens. And, it's a way churches can be a part of something positive in the community- a good way they can reach out. The way I see it, it's a win- win!
So far, I have 2 churches scheduled and several who are getting back to me. I love seeing the way God uses me in both of my jobs to do His work!
So, where was God this week? He was helping me, inspiring me, and opening up doors.
Blessings,
Jennifer
