God really challenged me one day when I was working with a child with autism at a childrens day camp. It was very difficult to have him understand where I was coming from, but I feel that God led me through the process by softening my heart and really having me tap into my compassion. I felt the Holy Spirit guiding me that; so I knew what to say to the child, and how to instruct in a stern, but loving man-ner that made it possible for the child to understand me. Then last summer, one of my close friends took the Foundations of Leadership course, got involved in CREO, and then introduced me to CREO as a group leader. (Before this, I hadnt really been involved in the church.) Children are often distracted. So I need to find the balance between being serious with them and being playful. It's a continuous learning process of knowing when to buckle down and get things moving for-ward, and knowing when to joke around and have fun so that their attention is maintained. I have come to understand it takes time to be able to earn the trust and respect of the community. Every week at Creo, I see the energy in all of the boys and the passion that they bringespecially to the fun in-house competitions. I love hanging around them because they are all generally so positive and supportive of one another. It's amazing how much Christ-like movement there is happening inside each student and it's rewarding being able to catch glimpses of the growing maturity of the young adults in terms of their relationship with God.
