Thursday, Day 19

Surprise! Berto and Karissa are in the hospital this evening, waiting on the doctor to induce labor, since Karissa is now about a week overdue. Due to this, Shine responsibilities fell to me. I was not ready, much to the disappointment of 7 students who attended. I showed them Rob Bell's "Rich" video, part of his Nooma series. It is a powerful piece on letting God move us from getters to givers, but the kids were distracted by Berto and Karissa and James and Mondo and Jeanine's absence. Thank you God, for this team of young adults who are investing their own lives in the lives of these teens. I realize tonight once again, how much we need them!
