Normally i don't update my blog mid-week but I have a few things to share tonight...
First of all, I could use your prayers. This week I feel like I am running on empty and everything is a struggle. That being said, when I found myself struggling with this week God humbled me through Jerome.
Jerome is such an incredible community member, and friend. I feel honored to even be associated with someone so devoted to bettering the community. He is purely the most selfless man I have ever met. I was reminded when speaking to him why I am here. It's people like him. People like Jerome who serve the Lord and the community so honestly and whole heartedly. Someone I aspire to be. It was through a joke, laughter, trust, and most importantly a simple hug that Jerome went from a community member from work projects to a close friend and a trusted adviser. I knew in that moment that even when the YouthWorks week wasn't going well or wasn't easy that even though we feed the youth dinner, that's not what it's about. Though we do all the clubs, evening activities, devos, meals, and free times, that is not why I am here. I am here to show Christs love, i am here to learn from a man like Jerome who is always serving the community.
Anyway, just a little food for thought on my week thus far. I will update with a detailed reflection Saturday!
I hope you are all doing well. Thanks for the never ending support and love.
I love you all.
-Kristen
