Trunk or Treat

Tonight was the Trunk or Treat outreach at church. These are my observations.

1. I was the first of the Wordless Book people. One thing that I think might have been helpful was if I had a script in Spanish too. The area we live in has a significant population of Spanish speakers. I ended up simplifying the message a couple times due to the language barrier and I felt bad.

2. My car was awesomely decorated. (well, actually it was Cassie's car, but I decorated it...)



3. Tonight as I was leaving Pastor John was sharing with me and one of the other workers about the people who had said the sinners prayer. The number was much larger than I anticipated. I was excited. I was also excited for some other things he shared, but I am almost positive that we'll all be hearing them Sunday morning, and I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. But mostly I was excited because it was one of the first times that PJ has shared something with me BECAUSE I was a partner in a ministry team, and not to try to show me something, or prove a point. One of the things I have found most frustrating is that people tend to treat me like a child sometimes. I know that part of it is because I tend to act younger than I am, but I sometimes think that its because I am not married and am still in school. But to be honest, none of these things make me less of an adult than I am. I am 27 years old, I am NOT a child. I like to have fun, I derive pleasure from simple things, but I am an ADULT. I really appreciated being treated like one this evening. Especially by my pastor. He has been my pastor for 20 years, since I was a little girl, he often forgets how old I am, and I appreciated being treated like an adult.
