This last week I once again had a chance to be apart of the ASP at JCBodyshop. I work from 3:30 - 6:30 every Monday and Thursday afternoon. It is the highlight of my day to be able to hang out with middle schoolers on these days. I mainly help out with homework, crowd control, snack distribution, and just getting to know the kids and building into their lives.
We are restructuring the way ASP is run and so with these new changes comes a little bit of acting out. We had a little rougher week with the kids this week. There were a few minor problems we had to address with some kids making fun of others and just disrespecting authority. I think it was handled pretty well. The kids were talked to and we didn't have anymore problems with it. Also last week we had a girl that we think broke her finger. She doesn't like the splint so she takes it off at random times.
This week was a challenging week for me spiritually. I had a lot to get done and it seemed like regardless of the amount of time I spent on homework there was a never ending amount to come after it. However, God is good and he has allowed me to get a lot done and still have some time to spend with Him and to rest. I really think I could use a good rest to get me prepared to do the best ministry that I can.

that stinks that the kids were acting out. Its hard sometimes to get the nerve to tell them to stop!
