week 1

This week I and the other two Practicum students, (Mike and Clayton) were introduced to the the youth . We pretty mush just said our names, a little about us and what not. I thought I . would try and a little funny and say my hieght and wieght; which got a pitty laugh. That night Pastor adam put me in charge of the game, he explained to me before hand what the game is and how to play. in this game you have three contestens with two cups each, and an egg in both cups and the first person that swollows both eggs win. So I figured that I would not explain the game untill I had my volunteers because I new that if I told them before hand they would have to swollow an egg, no one would volunteer.
Pastor Adam message was on "Accountbily" and having a best friend that you can talk to about your problems... and at the end o his message he passed out a piece of paper that had a list of things accountability partners do for each other with a place at the bottom to sign our names as a promise. We are to find a partner and read these over pray for each other and then sign the contract to one another. As a sponsor I was thinking "uh, how will I do this? I guess I can find Mike or Clayton", but a student named Haydin stopped me and asked if I would be his partner. Off instinct I said yes eventhough inside I didn't think that it was a good idea, but it ended up amazing we got talking he lives close to IWU and as we were talking and answereing the question, hearing about struggles in his life with school and family I new that God gave me this kid love upon.
These last three weeks have been crazy for me. I have been overwhelmed with work lately plus having track and now this Practicum - I am complaining but I know I will get better. we have been learning time management skills and I am trying real hard to take that up. I f some one wants give share an easy way they do it or give some easy hints that would help me out. tis week I have really been putting God off to the side, I been so worried about starting this semester off strong that I don't give my all to Jesus. ------Keep me in your prayers
