Life starts slowing down. Just a couple of weeks of school left.
Ashley and I decided to take a walk on Tuesday. We still meet for mentoring, or "partnering" as the kids like to call it. The last few weeks my mind has been so distracted that we haven't really done much of substance, just kind of chilled together, which is better than nothing.
We took a walk at wildcat park in the outskirts of Joplin. It was a lot of fun, quite impromptu (i was wearing dress clothes and cute flats, not really the best hiking/walking attire) and we didnt really know what we were doing. I as not sure that the path was going to loop, so we only went half way.
It was good quality time with each other, we were able to talk, laugh and well have our differences (she was sure the path would loop, i didn't).
We had such a good time that we decided to do it again, and maybe bring some friends along with us. So yesterday we meet up, asked Antonio if he wanted to come with us, he was game. We had to beg and even bribe Sergio (an offer to buy him Starbucks worked like a charm) and also Miss Jeanine came along.
We took a two hour walk through the park. Enjoyed each others company and had fun. I had my camera with me and we got some fun shoots of our little adventure.
Talking with Sergio, I realized that I havent been around as much. I mean its logical because I don't live there anymore. A lot has changed in the last six months since I moved out. I had really thought about how the changes in my life (and the other people investing in the God's Resort kids) affects their lives. We affect them by our trying to show them how to live like Christ, but when our lives get turned upside down, we seem to tilt theirs a little.
