Youth Work is a nice trip, it is awesome how many life we can touch and change, how many of those life are under the legal age, and how many of them have been take it away of the regular church progrmas, just because they are to young to be part of, or simply they dont understand growing up words.
Last friday we went to visit the Manhattan Citadel Corps and we expend a couple of hours in the After School Program that is running there, we had a good time with the kids and with the mentors, sometimes we dont have much time to chat with them about how the feel working and helping this young lifes, most of the time we just jump to work, and help.
But this time was different for me, this was the place were i expend my Winter Intership, so I was "kind of in Home", again, i knew some of the mentors and the program director, and I totally knew the class of the little ones, because we expend some time together, singing and learning about God.
As they are little kids, they didn't remember my name, but they do remember the song that i teach them:
I say L
I say L O
L O V
L O V E
Everybody needs Gods love
Everybody needs Gods love
Everybody needs Gods love
Everybody needs Gods love
It really touch my heart when some of this kittle kids came to me , and they only thing that they remember was the song, and they started to sing it to me, it make me realize how important is what we show and what we teach, because from little things like a song, we can change and turn lifes to God.
From that point my Friend and I took a trip to Ohio for the long free weekend we had, and this lesson was working on me, to the point that it is changing my mind, and making me think that everything I do has to have a porpuse, there is nothing else I can do, that be complete in my commitment to work with Youth Ministries.
