Wow I'm a little bit late posting this one. I had a great Thanksgiving though, and I'm ready to rock and roll again.
Week 7 was a very, very difficult experience. For the sake confidentiality, I will not include the gory details, but let's just say that there are some kids that have problems. I spent almost the entire time trying to counsel and help one particular kid. It was a pretty scary situation, but I'm pretty sure the situation ended up resolving itself.
During that week, I have to admit, I was just about at rock bottom spiritually. I was exhausted, discouraged and eager to go home for Thanksgiving. I have to admit also that that Thursday, I really did not want to be there. I want to always have the right attitude about everything, but I definitely had a crummy attitude coming into that day.
The lessons God taught me that week were that sometimes, things will be out of your control, and even if it breaches confidentiality, there are things that you need to report to people for the safety of the child. Things will never be out of God's control however, and he's going to be there helping you along every step of the way.

How true what God taught you this week. Even though it can seem like your breaking the confidentially of a youth, in the end it will just show the youth that you care. It sounds cliche-ish, but God will make it work out. He always does! Have a good week buddy!
