middle of no where..but awesome kids!

So, today we were in West Liberty,KY which is in the mountains in the middle of no where! So we arrive at our middle school for the day and the contact person, the person we meet with at the schools, gives us a great big hug! I was like "shaweet!" i like hugs! She was super helpful and bubbly! She sent some 7th graders to help us set-up. The two boys I got to really have a cool convo with is Hasten and Jacob. They were 2 football players. Hasten was tiny and small and Jacob was short and chubby! Awesome, AWesome kids! Hasten helped me set-up speakers and tape the cords down. He was SOO eager to help! He told me that he plays football and how they were undefeated until yesterday..poor guy! Then Jacob came up to us and asked if he could hang out and help us tear down after the shows..OF COURSE!! Hasten and Jacob sat with me the whole time!!They loved "Dare to Move" and Jacob was a big Eminem fan. He told me how his house got burnt down and had to live in a hotel for 3 months. He said that because a girl in the video had to do that because mold was growing in their house. He also felt bad because he knows some kids with epilepsy and in the video 2 kids talk about how they are teased because they have epilepsy. It was soo cool to hear these 2 boys comment! Hasten and Jacob helped a little bit tearing down but they had to go! Bummer! But It was so cool to have encouraged these 2 boys and they encouraged me! Hasten was just excited I think for someone to hear him out!The contact person told us how 78% of those kids in the school live below the poverty line and how most of them our involved with illegal prescription drug use either them or their parents..its sad bc these kids either go home to an empty house or to a house where the parents are passed out from drugs. My heart breaks for these kids today. But with these opportunities to pour into students... I LOVE MY JOB!!! God is soo good! Even when difficult days come, God is still able to provide opportunities!! I dont let anything hold me back and its amazing how God worked with me through that! I'm here to live for Him!! Seriously..give God 110% of your day..and see what He does!! Just keep your eyes on him and nothing else...you can't go wrong..even when other things around you seem messed up..you are still filled with joy..those other things dont bother you!!
