Trusting God-Week 19

This past week was busy! Here's just a little run down of my week: Monday we tutored in the afternoon some of the older boys. I helped some of them with English which was cool. Then, Tuesday two of the older boys came to the office because they had left school and needed to bring adults with them when they returned back to school because of the things they had done. The first boy had threatened a kid because he gave him money for a phone but he never got the phone. So, the school was going to handle it but wanted us (MYC) to be aware of the situation. The other boy who had come to the office told us that the principal grabbed his ears and punched him in the stomach for no reason. Though, we found out that the boy was late. When we talked with the principal he stated that he was just joking around with him wanting to know why he had been late to school. The boy is a shy, quiet boy and doesn't normally get in trouble. The principal though was quick to defend his actions and make sure we knew he had done it “jokingly.” However, the principal seemed to really be defensive about his actions and we hadn't brought it up. So, after our conversation with the boy and then with the principal, the boy apologized for being late and for anything else he may have done and the boy was able to go back to school thankfully! Then, Wednesday and Thursday I worked on writing up a Child Protection Policy for MYC. Wednesday afternoon, I helped tutor the older boys again and then in the evening I helped tutor the younger boys. Which was so much fun! I really enjoyed it! It's been nice to have more interactions with the boys and have some of them come and hang out with me! Thursday evening, I went to a bible study, which was really good! We talked about Colossians 3:1-17. It talks about focusing on heavenly things verses earthly things and clothing ourselves with love, tenderhearted mercy, etc. It was really good to be reminded that I am here to bring glory to God and do his will. I shouldn't worry because God has everything under control! He will give me what I need to accomplish his will! It was a really good reminder. The rest of my week was spent in the office and then just relaxing this weekend! This morning in church the pastor talked about having the power of the Holy Spirit and trusting in God. I thought it went right along with the bible study and with how I have been feeling lately! God has really been giving me what I need to hear and using my fellowship with Christians to speak to me! It has been really nice finally starting to have that connection and support with what I am going through spiritually!
The girl's home is coming along. Most of the kitchen is done the bathroom is close to being done, the ceiling and roof are done, and they were working on the floors for the main area and the bedrooms. It is exciting to continue to see the transformation! 

The pretty much finished kitchen!!!! :)

The ramp is now complete :)
