World Changer: Marsha '15

Working at a nonprofit can be a lot of fun, but also very tiring. The hours are long, but seeing these kids progress academically and socially is the most rewarding part. My skills that I've learned through being an e-board member and small group leader at IV at Fredonia have helped me tremendously at this job. For example, I work in a really good neighborhood (Jay street/Metrotech), but some of these kids don't live in the best neighborhoods or come from the best homes. They can take it out on you, but what I've learned is that all I can do is be all who God has called me to be and trust that God will use me as I am now. But quite often, they just need someone to talk to, so I've had to be that listening ear. I've also learned the importance and power of prayer. Like I've stated before, all I can do is be me, but God is much more powerful and he knows exactly what these kids need and how to give it to them.
