Hey everyone,
Morning services were really good. Had a lot of the teens come and talk to me and hug me and shake my hand asking how I was doing and if I was going to stay after tonight's service and play "Capture the Flag". I'm not sure as to what that is because I've never played. And I had one of the new members , Jonathan issue a challenge saying he was going to beat me.
I'm betting he will cause he can run faster and knows the church better then I do and he's probably played before lol. But I'm going to try my best even with my sore knee. I got to help out with the children's church this morning that was a lot of fun. Helped them with their spelling and passed out things to them and got to know them. They are really nice.
I'm really enjoying my new church it's a lot better then my old one. I'm allowed to help out more the kids don't ignore me they don't make fun or me or shun me but they kindly tease, you know the kind to make you try harder. I'm happier about going because I feel like I belong. At my other churches I was always miserable because the kids didn't like me and wouldn't invite me to hang out with them. At Garrison they invite me to go get ice cream with them after Youth group on Wednesday nights.
Though I must admit I haven't exactly told them about my Cystic Fibrosis, I mentioned it to a few of them they didn't really seem to think anything of it cause I didn't go into details just said I had it. Well we'll see what happens when they find out what it is. I'm letting them get to know the real me without the cf. I'm not trying to hide it from them the time just hasn't seemed right to tell them yet . I will though soon , Hopefully the whole group at once then I'll let them ask questions and I'll try and answer them.
It's not easy because some of the things cf causes are really embarrassing. Like gas, big appetites, stomach aches that can keep you in the bathroom for half an hr more or less. So keep me in your prayers as I work up the courage to tell them and to answer their questions. That I won't take them the wrong way or something like that. Well that's all for now I'll add more tonight or tomorrow and tell you how I did in the game. *Hugs and muahs* love you see you later
Love,
