Weary: Day 2

USA | Tuesday, 11 August 2009 | Views [269]

"Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says "Oh Crap, She's up!"

Today was our first full day of training--many of our trainers were hands-off (well, we did get a lot of help anyway) and we did audio/video set ups and screen set ups etc etc over and over again. It was physically tiring, and because it was the first time all of us doing all of this on this scale, it was mentally tiring. It's 8pm now, and I'm pretty sure I'ma be in bed by 9:30.  Tomorrow I'm going with four other girls to do an actual school at a school with one of the trainers, so that will be good to get into the swing of things before going out on the road. It'll be especially interesting as we don't have everything under our belts yet!

I'm excited about the ministry part of all this. I'm essentially going to be out on a mission field in my own backyard for 10 months. I'm excited for the kids we'll meet--the stories some of the returning technicians have told about kids approaching them after seeing the programs and opening up to them, it's so touching. My body and mind are aching so much, but I'm so hopeful that this is really all going to not only be a wonderful seed-planting opportunity, but a time of personal growth.

"And let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." 1 Galatians 6:9-10
