Outreach

Every Tuesday I used to go to what my church calls Outreach. Its a homework help program with inner city kids who live in Aurora. These families live in government owned apartments because they are unable to afford to live anywhere else. I LOVED IT!!! I have been going since my freshman year in high school & I just recently had to stop going because of my new nannying job. Saying good-bye was one of the hardest things I have ever done!

But today I had the day off of work!! so I was able to go and visit all of my friends!! :) there are two girls in particular that I worked with & had grown close to & their names are Tiara & Temiera. They both are in 5th grade and I love being around them!! They make me laugh.

Today I wanted to surprise them so I went straight up to the 5th grade room where we always did their homework & I decided to just wait for them in there. As I was waiting, I was looking out the window and I saw them both walking towards the building... I got so excited to see them that I quickly opened the window & called out their names. They looked up at the window & I waved to them with such excitement!! They both were like "ANGELA???" I nodded my head & smiled at them & without a thought they both sprinted into the building, up the stairs, and into my arms!! :) it was the biggest hug I have received in a long time!! (i LOVE hugs!!) oh my goodness it was SO good to see them again!! We had so much fun talking and laughing & I made them do flashcards with me just for old times sake and we had a lot of fun. It was wonderful. I really hope there will be more time like today where I can go visit them! God has blessed me SO much by allowing me to be a part of their lives!

Just look at them!! I mean, really? How could I NOT love these girls!!
