In Motion


We are in motion. We have, once again, begun this crazy thing called Kairos. Three days ago 15 fresh faces gazed awkwardly around the circle as many students met for the first time. We took them all to a retreat center where they did team building activities, learned some of the Kairos guidelines, and personally challenged themselves on a high ropes course. (I was a bit challenged on that one too). It is amazing how fast they are bonding. Friendships are already being formed, and God is already moving-- I love it. I also have a small group of 5 girls who I will be personally encouraging and discipling. Of course I try to encourage everyone, but these are going to be my girls. Each year God has taught me something through having a small group. This year the thing I am praying for and focusing on, is boldness to speak truth into them, and water the seeds of destiny in their lives. I usually can see where there is so much potential, but when it comes time to confront or speak truth, I shrink back. I want to be more bold. Anyway, all that to say, the year is in motion already. I am excited to see the way that God is going to work in the students this year. I am also excited about what He is going to teach me and do through me. So keep up the prayers....they're working, God's hand is moving. I wish you were here to see it firsthand, this is an incredible ministry. I love my job! Thanks guys.
