We've made it to Philadelphia! It's been a long day for sure! We packed up the vans and headed northeast this morning from Brown Hall at 7:30 a.m.! I'll be honest, I struggled last night. It's not that I didn't want to be here, but something inside me was churning (no, it wasn't my cooking). Having only one week to be at home after being at Montreat for a week before heading here was harder than I imagined. I was getting used to being at home, enjoying the time with Amy, Kennedy and the in-laws. I was comfortable and life was easy. Although I still am a bit empty leaving Amy and Kennedy again, I was rejuvenated the minute we arrived to Broad Street Ministries. This good vibe just spread throughout my limbs. My friends, something special is going to happen this week, but I just can't wrap my tingly arms around it just yet. Funny thing, though, I don't think it has anything to do with me. It has everything to with what's going to happen with these youth. So get ready!
In the days ahead, I will be asking our youth to write a small paragraph about their experiences and I will post them on this blog for you all to read and to enjoy the journey with us. So come back often!
Before I say goodnight, I want to personally thank all of you who help sponsor these youth. I have been amazed by your support you all have given our youth monetarily speaking and through your prayers! Our youth can't grow all by themselves. They grow because of a loving community!
Tomorrow is our first day of work! I can't wait to share the day with you all! I promise to take a bunch of pictures and video! So keep us in your prayers! Peace and love! ~Scott
