The YMCA

So I'm working at the YMCA, which is no longer the "Young Men's Christian Association." I'm a Sports Instructor mostly for 3&4 year-olds. Interestingly enough we teach different character development traits such as "caring, honesty, respect and responsibility." I don't really know how to bring my faith into the work place. I have to cover up my Jehova Rapha tattoo it is against YMCA dress code or something like that. I'm dealing with a diverse group of children; my Thursday afternoon class only has 4 boys but one is deaf and one speaks primarily Spanish. I also am dealing with a nice little commute on my bike... 4.3 miles to my Wed night, Thur afternoon classes and my Sat soccer coaching. Then 4.7 miles home from there to home. Thursday morning my trek is 1.4 miles there and the same back. Luckily Fridays I only have to take a 7 minute walk to the local elementary school for lacrosse (which btw I don't really know how to play). So basically between Wednesday and Thursday I walked/rode 21 miles. And my body is telling me that it has been over two years since I was even remotely this active.

Anyway, pray for me as I need to find another job just to pay for the bills.
