This Thing Called Life

Let's see what is there to update on? Well actually a lot! I know I'm not very good at this whole posting thing, in fact Im pretty bad, but Im trying! So anyways... This past Friday I was able to sit down with Chuck from the center and get a little better understanding of what I will be doing for my internship. 50 of my hours will be spent at the youth center and the other 50 will be at the new site which is called East Hills Village. I will be going over there on Mondays and possibly Wednesdays. So its a little easier to breathe now that I have a better idea of what is going on. Friday night I went to a play with the youth center called Blood Money, What it Means to be a man. It was really good. It was about being a "MAN" in the urban culture and really it could be in any culture. It addressed saving yourself until marriage and how important it is for both guys and girls to know that they are worth waiting for. And it really addressed alot of different issues especially in the urban culture, such as shootings, kids out of marriage, dance off's ( which was amazing in and of itself). I definately enjoyed my time there. One of the girls even went to the altar afterwards. Another thing i thought was really cool was that they handed out Abstinence Cards and had people sign them and it was neat... I know in high school people would ask if such and such had a V-Card and thats basically what they gave out, and it was a commitment to yourself and a friend to stay true until marriage. But enough of that rambling if you would like to see a trailer,I guess you could call it...you can go to: http://www.guardyourself.org/vid/bloodmoney.cfm

But anyways, I am going back to Nall Avenue Naz. and this past Sunday was their college luncheon it was really nice to be able to hang out with people my own age, at the other church I went to there really wasnt anyone my age , even the Sunday School class was an older adult class, so its nice to have people my age I can talk with and hang with. I did get a phone call from the children's pastor at Nall today , asking me if I would be willing to help out with their children's dept. and I of course said YES and so Im excited about that!!

My Birthday is in 17 days and I wont lie not looking forward to it. Dont wanna spend it here... without family kinda sucks, but its part of life and living away from home. I know that I have people here that will make it a great day though!!!

Thats about it for the last couple of days ill check back in prolly sometime this weekend!!!

PEACE!
