There is little to no reward really in helping out in the youth group Sunday after Sunday. Or so I was beginning to think. Thoughts of, is this REALLY making any difference? Am I really serving in the right area? I have no clue how God will change these hearts for him. We are working from such a deficit! This are thoughts that would fill my heart & mind some Sundays as I would walk into the youth room. Then days like today & day like last Monday happen.
Last Monday, I went to the Baptism interviews like I normally do. This time I was partnered with 2 high school girls that I'd never met before. As we talked I started to discern that these two girls did not yet know the Lord. So as I showed them the bridge & they said they wanted a relationship with the Lord, I prayed with them & two souls were written in the Book of Life! Amazing! All because God allowed me to be a part of their night!
And tonight, I get an email from one of my High School friends...here is what she wrote:
hey Janna!♥
i wanted you to know that the book you gave me Sunday helps me on my spiritual journey. it made a great connection yesterday!
yesterdays was: "Taking the initiative against depression"
It's February 17th. "Depression tends to turn us away from the everyday things of God's creation. But whenever God steps in, His inspiration is to do the most natural, simple things--things we would never have imagined God was in, but as we do them we find Him there.
it connected to my life in so many ways and brightened my day, like you! (:
hope you feel better. and thanks for all you do.
love ya
Yeah wow! So if this past 2 weeks haven't been confirmation enough I don't know what is! Thank you Lord for confirming that for me! I am honored & humbled to be your servant!
