outcasts

The deeper and deeper i dig into this canidacy process, the more i discover about myself.
I've struggled a bit with some issues here at my job and some of the people i deal with make the job more difficult.
i've been tempted to leave a time or two but i have had something holding me back. i finally realized it sunday when one of my new student's mother came up to me and thanked me for getting her child involved with other students her age at church. she had been trying for years and her child just would not get involved.
through one on one sunday school secessions and a group meeting or two this former 'outcast' student is now not only actively involved but now on the praise team.

i feel like i can relate to the 'un-cool' kids and the ones that are socially rejected, cause i was like them too when i was their age, and i think they can sense that.

my job is still not easy, but it's revelations like these that make the other 364 days worth it.
