Cheating???

Life in the big ole town of KC is going well. Its starting to feel like home a little, minus the fact that there is no Rio Grande, No Family, No "friends", No Dirty KANAWHA River, No little kids that I know, NO part time jobs worth working, No Free Movies, No ERNC, No Easter Cantatas, NO WEDNESDAY OR SUNDAY EVENING SERVICES, NO gathering with Friends to eat out after church, and most f all NO WVU FANS...so maybe its not feeling like home, I was trying cut me a break! I will say though that if it werent for the KCUYC (Urban Youth Center) I prolly wouldnt feel so at home here. That place seriously at times feels like my home away from home, maybe its because I have known them for 2 years now and they are so open and accepting, but I absolutely LOVE those kids!!!! I have been volunteering at the new site which is East Hills Village and the kids are younger and a lot of fun, and I am starting to really connect there also. Tonight at KCUYC, Morgan one of my girls from the center, found out that I had been volunteering at both places and she was mad. She said, and I quote " Your Cheating on us, how they gonna take a volunteer from us?" What she doesnt know is that i wasnt necessarily taken, I volunteered to go, I actually really like the other site and all the good things that are happening! I know its just a matter of time until the programming there really takes off and its as good there as it is on Troost (which is where the other center is).

But enough of that , I will hopefully, all fingers crossed be joining some of the workers at the youth center on a trip to LA, CA in May for an National Urban Youth Workers Conference, I was asked to go along with them, and I am very excited for this opportunity, who knows where it could lead. Please continue to pray for me and the job situation, things at Payless are the best and are really starting to weigh me down. I do appreciate everyone from back home who reads this and cares about me and whats going on out here. Its encouraging to know that my friends and family truly care!!!
