Inner City Missions Trip..the one I wasn't going to go on

So here I am in Winnipeg. Sitting at a table with the team and we are discussing how we are going to keep the kids engaged today. Crazy. They are crazy. But good. This has been one of those times where it is so familiar because of camp and yet so not familiar because it is SOOOOO out of my comfort zone. Well, I just have a hard time connecting. Because I totally DO NOT have anything in common with this demographic and I am so sheltered and naive. Some people who live and grow up in a sheltered environment are good at working with people from an opposite demographic...it's like it is just part of them. Like God put it in there for them. But I feel like I am just way better at working with and teaching kids from my demographic. So this is good because I am being exposed to a new reality and yet it is affirming because it reminds me that being good at working with the xtian kids in morden has value as well. Both are good. ok...well I have to go. More thoughts on this later.
