hmmm

Tonight was another night of bringing my kids to this new yc except this time they came of their own free will :) something that made me so extremely happy. They're going to be in great hands this year and there is going to be an impact on their lives in a way YC could never have touched. I believe that Jesus is having me hand these beautiful jewels over in sense. So painful yet so beautiful.

I was telling a friend about one of my students tonight, one who owns a special place in my heart and i realized that as i teel these new leaders what to expect they i can only tell them stories about some of these kids, kids that they will never see but i had the incredible honor and privelage of being a part of their lives. They will meet new students, grow comfortable with the street and the kids who call it home. No matter how hard and complicated the situation they're going to work it out by the grace of our Jesus. :)
I love them, in a way i could never describe and am so grateful for the last year. It's crazy to think about how far we've come. I look back and at this time last year had no idea what i signed up for :) i just wanted to love those kids. Burned in my mind will forever be their smiles and the little things like " i love you nicole" when they knew i wasn't happy with them :).. Jesus protect them tonight as they rest their heads, wherever it may be.

i met someone interresting tonight. Someone that left me going 'huh'. Unique, unaffraid, broke through the invisible lines with the kids the first time. I don't quite know what to think but i believe good things will come. Jesus thank you for a new friend tonight.
