i had this acute experience of what its like to watch a child grow up, and finally having to pull back and allow the grown-up child to live sans dependency on the parent.
jobs and responsibilities were handed over to the students today--i am SO excited. Two of the girls in my Discipleship Group are going to be the new discipleship group leaders, and another girl in my study is going to be the prayer coordinator. ^_^ Its been a humbling couple of weeks--serving others is a humbling task. Makes you realize just how inadequate you are. Now, as we train the students and encourage them in their roles, its time to pull back even more. This is hard--spending less time with people who have been good friends so they can develop relationships with each other is a bit weird, sad and nostalgic all at the same time. But i am just SO excited to see what God does with this group of students by the end of the summer.
Pray for me as well--i would LOVE to see someone come to Christ before i leave--i've been actively sharing my faith and having spiritual conversations and so i know the rest is in God's hands.
