What a beautiful week it has been! The sun has been frequenting our lovely lives and God has been so gracious :). Since last Sunday night I have had the privilege of spending 6 hours with the wonderful leaders, middle school and high school students of JCB. Wednesday night we had youth group open house for two hours and last night, as well as yesterday, the small group leaders had dinner together and discussed what we would be doing that evening and then had small group for an hour. Also, Sunday morning I attended their Sunday school.
I seriously cannot begin to explain how blessed I am to be working with these students. Although having a practicum is time consuming, it is well worth it! I find it often is an awesome break from the chaos of school. It does have its moments of craziness and confusion, but more often than not, I remember how awesome my job is going to be -- simply loving on kids. Last night was one of the girls' birthday parties (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SARAH!!!) and we hung out, ate, and played games with the girls. It was such an awesome time. And tonight I am SO STOKED to hang out with my 8th grader Kayla. God has been so awesome in providing such an opportunity for me!
My spiritual life has actually felt quite...bland lately. I am searching for God in the chaos but sometimes fail to see His face admist my complaining. It is so vital that I give up myself and lay down before Him so He can truly be seen in my life and used to draw others near to Him. I look forward to knowning my Savior more as I press through these difficult deserts beneath His wings.
How beautiful our Savior, how awesome His love, and how amazing His will.

I am glad you got to spend some one on one time with Kayla! That is so awesome!!! Isn't is rewarding to know these girls care about us just as much as we care about them!? God shows us His love through these girls. We do have such a wonderful job and awesome opportunity!
I completely understand what you're going through in your spiritual life. Honestly, I felt the same way for quite a while. Just keep pushing through... God will reveal Himself to you if you let Him.
