Art Class What?

Good Morning! Well, this is going to be a short little post because I am starting a new position today!! I'm so so so excited about it and have been praying about something like this for a looong time. What am I going to be starting you ask? Well I'll tell you. I'm going to be volunteering at NYC's The Bowery Missions Women's Center and teaching an Art Class! I'm pretty nervous as well as excited for the opportunity. I'm not sure I'm actually qualified but here goes nothing. Ever since moving up here 8 months ago I have been struggling with how to face the poverty on the streets. I've never been quite sure if I should help with money or buying food, etc. I have never given money and have always bought food but sometimes I'm just not sure the appropriate action. Hubs and I are so blessed with all that God has given us (health included) that I want to give back and glorify Him while I am able. So this exciting opportunity surfaced and now I'm off to see what its going to be like!!
