Point Break

So for over a year now, my boss has been working hard to get Point Break approved by the Palm Beach County School District. She finally received a green flag of sorts at the end of 2010, and with my contacts at Royal Palm Beach High we set our sights to pilot the program there. (If you don't know what I am talking about please refer to pointbreakonline.com, though some of you have maybe heard to talk about it already so I don't want to go over everything you already know.)
The date has been set and then set again, and then changed one last time. The one day workshop was supposed to originally take place sometime in February...its now May. Everything has come down to the very last second. Even as I write this I am awaiting a phone call to verify that we have use of the Royal Palm Rec. Center for that day. Needless to say I have only the confidence of God to pull me through to the next task. May 17th is the date, I feel at this point I may be the only one who is eager and expecting this to happen. I am SO hopeful of what this will do for Campus Life's relationship with not only Royal Palm High, but with the school district. I feel this is a door opener for future Campus Life ministry's in other area schools! Of course I am most excited about what it can do at Royal Palm.
So these last couple of weeks have really been crazy, trying to get everything done in my regular duties as a Campus Life Director as well as keep the school motivated and moving forward in this endeavor (Point Break.) I have been working to help the school produce and get letters out to parents, I have helped write proposals for the money to put this on. Many things that are out of my "expertise," but I am loving every minute of it. I just pray that this is everything that I hope it can be. I want so badly want for this to open up the possibility of having a Campus Life presence on campus weekly. I hope to meet lots of new students in order to invest in their lives along with my other adult leaders. I can't wait to report the success of Point Break and how all of this crazy work pays off.
