First Day!

My first day at Streets Ministries exceeded my expectations! On Wednesday morning I was able to sit in on a staff meeting with all of the full time staff at Streets. The people working there are absolutely amazing. They are all truly passionate about what they're doing, and they are honestly like a little family. I knew that Streets was a Christian organization, but I truly had no idea how much they love the Lord and how everything they do points to Him. The beginning of the meeting started off with everyone talking about their "God sitings" of the week. God sitings are where you've seen God in the past week or so. The staff was so inclusive of me in the meeting, and I was able to share my God siting as well. Next we had prayer requests. Jess usually writes the prayer requests on the white board in the office, but this week they let me take over. I truly felt like I was a part of the team because of how much they were including me in what they were doing. The staff's prayer requests were full of names of the kids they work with at Streets, so I could tell that they truly do care about the children they are working with. After prayer requests we began working on finding bible verses for a project they are working on for Kingsbury, High School. They asked me to read scripture, and when it came down to the vote my opinion was truly considered. At the end of the meeting, Noelle gave a quick update from the business office. Lastly, the staff had about a thirty minute conversation discussing a couple of issues they are having in the afternoons with the children. I watched as they respectfully voiced their opinions and came up with a solution. I can already tell by how the meeting on Wednesday went that I would love to work at an organization like Streets Ministries. The staff there are so busy, but at their staff meetings they are able to debrief, have healthy discussions, and focus on the Lord. I am excited to see what all I will be doing next week!!
