I live for days like these

One of my favorite things to do in Camden is spend time with small groups of kids. I loved bible buddies for this reason too, your able to really get to know the kids on a different level when your spending extra time with them and they start realizing how much you care. So I had set up plans with Rahmir's grandma to pick him to go to the aquarium and to lunch with myself, hope and Tatiana another student from camp peace. As I talk to Rahmir who is standing barefoot in his door way he informs me that he dosnt want to go with us. I start realizing that Hope is going to be crushed. This is her favorite camp kid who she has been soooo excited to spend time with not to mention the fact that we just drove two hours to camden to take him out anyway he refused to go. So Hope and I decide to make a stop at the house of another camp kid, the easter package that we had tried sending was returned so I wanted to leave it on the door step anyway, so I knock on the door realizing that I am a stranger showing up early on a saturday morning asking to take her kids away but after talking she allows Daquan and his sister to come out with us and they are sooooo excited. The day was fantastic, seeing the usually cool tough 4th grader holding his sisters hand and opening the doors for everyone brought a smile to my face. When I picked the kids up his mom had told me their father is incarcerated and they have been struggling for a while. I never know how Gods going to use me or who God is using to touch me but I have realized that he teaches me so much through these kids, more than I could ever learn in a classroom. I live for days like these.
