Lets Gooooooo! :)

So It's Saturday and the end of my first full week in NY! So far I love the city and Graffiti 2! The staff is great and the kids are wonderful! Since I didn't know much before I got here and because of that, couldn't tell y'all much,I'll fill y'a'' in! I got here on Monday, and decided to dive right in. I got to experience the after school program with the elementary students.(I think the after school range is something like 1st-12th grade) That was awesome! The kids got to participate in a bible study and get help with their homework. I always say I hate school but being here and witnessing the differences in the school system here makes me appreciate the one we have in Troup County. ANYWAYS! After the program is over some of the older kids who are active in a program called GSALT walk the younger kids home. GSALT is a really neat program! It teaches the kids how to give back to their community and set a good example for the babies! (Babies are any children under the age of 12) on Monday nights that have staff meeting for the GSALT kids and I got to sit in on that also. this week has been such a transition and because I HATE transitions its been a little tough, but the Lord has taught me so much already.AND, He's put me in my place a couple of times, but when does that NOT happen.haha! I have let things defeat me already and it is because I was focused so much on doing the work that I wasn't focusing on our relationship. BUT, I'm back on track now! I'm so excited about my journey in New York! I have seen awesome things and met some pretty cool people! I will post pictures soon!
