This was our last week for ASP other than the graduation on Monday. I have truly enjoyed this practicum and have felt that I have become an integral part of the program. Many times if you will only be there for a short time church's do not let you become as big of a part of their programs. I have really loved being a part of this ministry. I believe in what they are doing here. I know at times it can be rough and stressful for some but each day that I get the opportunity to spend with these kids my heart grows even fonder of them.
I have grown throughout this practicum experience in relating with middle school age kids. In all of my previous experience it has been either younger elementary kids or high school age. This was a great challenge for me but I would not trade the time or relationships that I have built for anything. I hope to be able to continue some of these relationships even after I graduate and move on to my own career in the ministry. These kids have definitely had an effect on me, and I pray that I have shown them the love of Christ in such a way that it affects their lives as well.
