Impacting without Knowing

Ok so this week was a very interesting and quite busy for me.  For the earlier part of the week I went with my mentor and we went to a minister’s conference in Cambridge.  Honestly my first thought was that I wasn’t ready to do anything of that sort and that I was way to afraid to be in that position.  It was pretty cool though, after I got past the first set of butterflies and I did away with the negativity the week went a lot smoother.  I tend to get ruffled and torn out of shape when I have a lot of things on my plate, but in the back of my mind I know I can overcome things, I just have to keep that mind state at all times.  Then later on this week, we went on an outreach in the underprivileged neighborhoods.  They really look up to people who are genuine and they can really see the hearts in people.  I met this little three year old boy and he called himself “Fatman”, I was helping him go up and down the hills on his little tricycle and he asked could I be his big brother and that when I smile he likes it.  Deep down I wanted to just pick him up and keep him forever, but in reality all I could do was jus love on him.  He asked could I come back tomorrow because he wanted to see me again, he said he liked my necklace, so I gave it to him and he smiled and said thank you “Big Brother”.  Who would have known just being real and showing someone a smile would have made there day and encouraged them to smile
