Today we had orientation of all that we are going to be doing. We went through so much stuff. Our day started in the office of Jason Pope. We filled out a novel of papers and talked money. It was thoroughly confusing and I know that it will make sense eventually. I sure hope so. We got to see our office. It is a room with two tables, 4 chairs, 4 internet cables and that is pretty much it. not too fancy but, we are interns so what can we expect. We are making some decorations to put in our office. I think it will turn out good. Then we got into what our schedule would look like. It will be long days but not too bad. To make things short:
we will be working at DHQ doing some things off a list of things Jason wants us to do. In addition to that, we will be working and doing kids club in an apartment complex. We will do this twice a week for a few hours at a time. So we will be planning bible stories, crafts, and games for the kids. We are also doing a volleyball clinic once a week. We are also going to be working with the homeless ministry at temple with ali. We will be doing quite a bit. We will be working with and doing lots of stuff at Temple on Wednesdays and Sundays. We will be busy.
I am still not sure about this. After hearing about all that we are going to be doing, I am kind of nervous about all of this. I am not sure if I am feeling like i would not do a good job, I think it is just that I don't truly know how everything is going to turn out. I am also very worried about money. I just want to be my best for the kids and not mess up any of the things that I am asked to do this month. I need to just let them happen as they happen and be prepared for it all. I just feel like we are spending spending spending. I cannot afford to do this. I feel like I am paying out more than I am going to get paid at this point. I just wish we could all be simple and not spend as much. It just makes more sense. but oh well. I am part of a team and have to go with it. It will all work out and all my worries will go away. Everything here and home will be good and work out the way that it is supposed to. I just need to keep this in mind.
Twas truly a long day and I am completely nervous for this first time with these kids tomorow. I love them and know it will all change when i get to see the kids. I just don't want the kids club to go wrong because i am not prepared. But it will get done and I will love the kids and the kids will love us. Prayers would be greatly appreciated. Prayers that we can reach these kids and guide them in a manner that they will follow. That we can relational with them and touch their lives. Tis the beginning of an busy fun month. Here we go. . .
