WOW...Today was a trying day

Okay so this morning I woke up and hurried to get ready. I started breakfast with Stacy (We made waffles!) After breakfast Sofia and Sarah had to hurry out the door with their group to make it to their worksite on time. They had about a two hour subway ride. The parents of the youth group had a meeting so we cleaned up dishes and hung out until they finished. I missed a call from Jamey in the process which left me very sad :( I then called my mom which made me miss home and I cried right as I was walking in to head up our first worksite of the day with my group. Bad start to my morning.....homesickness....Well I dried it up as quickly as possible. Stacy covered for me in the mean time. I then put on my happy face and got the kids working on cleaning the bathrooms and making lunches for the homeless. We headed out to feed the homeless and that was very interesting to say the least. The homeless are like a family. They all hang out together all day. We got to hear a bit of their stories and that was neat. We handed out lunches and talked for awhile and then everyone started to get cold and complain a little (which didn't help my nerves much) so we went back to the church. On the way to the church I got a call from Stacy. Okay side story for a second....When the churches arrived they had to park their buses at the Lowe's parking lot down the street because there is no parking  anywhere!! The pastor told us to park them there because he had a deal worked out with Lowe's and it was fine. Okay so now back to today...well Stacy called me and informed me that both of the vans had been towed. Churches have been parking there for seven years, but last night someone torched an ambulance and so Corporate got involved and towed everyone there.  Several of the adults had to travel with Stacy to get the vans, so that left me and two adults with about twenty kids at the church. I got them back to the church and had them fix everyone's lunch. There was a group at a prayer table, so i got them back at the church also to eat lunch. We all ate lunch and I gave a short devotional. Okay at this point I had twenty kids and no worksites planed for the afternoon. We had to work on Kidz Klub because the adults that help out with that were getting the vans. We let them have free time for a few minutes while we got things together, but I got a bit of attitude from the groups because they wanted longer free time. We had a lot to do, so I couldn't really do that. I also planed on them doing a bit of odd jobs around the church, but that didn't quite work out so the kids got a bit angry about that as well. All of it was out of my hands, but I was still the one in charge so of course I was to blame. By this time I was almost in tears because I just wasn't sure I could handle this. I began to pray as much as possible. We then got the kids started on Kidz Klub skits and crafts and such. While they worked on that I was trying to find a doctor's office because one girl had gotten a spider bite and it was turning purple. While I was trying to find a doctor in the area a camper made a remark that made an adult mad and when the camper was fussed at she stormed out. Her sister soon followed. This is the point when I walked in. So I tried to deal with that as best I could. At this point I texted Stacy to please come rescue me!! She was walking back to the church so I was extremely happy!! They got here and Kidz Klub started. I volunteered to go to the grocery store, so I could regain my sanity. The day was starting to look up now. I had to lead the Bible Study in Kidz Klub (yes everyone be proud I hung out with the kids!) I then started to make dinner for everyone. We ate dinner and then ice cream! The day was definitely looking better!! I then worked on my talk and we had to practice a skit. Worship was awesome and I was really happy with my talk. Beth brought us cupcakes from Cupcake Cafe. They were beautiful and tasted amazing! I hung out with the campers until lights out. Now it is blog time!! Tomorrow I'm headed out to a soup kitchen! I'm braving the city on my on while leading a group of kids! No one can really tell me how to get to the location either, so keep me in prayers! Thanks for all the ones so far! 

PS I say none of this to complain about my day. Only to fill you guys in! I hope you all understand! I love what I do, but I'm sure you all know sometimes we just have off days!!
