something new

My last week at church went by so fast! I can't believe it!
I had a horrible sinus infection from Sunday - Tuesday (when I finally got medication!)
So that left me Wednesday to work on Awaken - my last retreat.
The retreat went well. I was so excited that things worked out so well for the week.
The students were so willing to help, and it was great. They leapt into service with a great attitude. [The picture up here is of me going through a box of things
to be given to Goodwill]
During our discussions about service the students came up with so many good ideas about service, life, faith, heaven, etc. I'm so proud about ALL they know. They all have good hearts.

Saying goodbye yesterday was hard. All the students (and some parents) were so complementary. I couldn't believe it. Looking at all the students I could see a little bit of God in each one of them. I could see a little bit of spiritual growth in each of them. As sad as it was to leave I know I'm leaving a group of students who are rooted in solid teachings. I'm gonna' miss those students - and their quirks - but I'm also excited to grow and develop in a new way!
