this is what i've been doing. serving high school aged students. helping them in their walk with God. we serve together. laugh together. face our demons together. hug and love.
i lived and trained in one of these cabooses. we had dance parties outside until curfew. i miss hanging out with my fellow crew chiefs, but the rest is so much more rewarding...
we get time to ourselves... every once in a while. this is where i escape to. i wade in the river, watch the dragonflies interacting. they do somewhat of a dance. and when their wings hit, it makes the most calming, peaceful sound that reminds me how submersed in nature i am. 
then, the best part of all, is how i spend the other 22 hours of my day. i spend it working with 13 girls who i love more than anything. i never want to take time off, i just want to spend every minute with them. when i sleep alone on my one night off, the silence is ere, rather than calming..
this job is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
as i tell my girls when they impatiently ask what the day's plan is..
the best is yet to come
