Growing Girls In God

I just got back from leading the high school girls’ retreat for spiritual emphasis weekend. I was the worship leader and small group facilitator. The theme was about relationships, both with God and others.

The great part about the whole weekend was spending time with the girls outside the classroom setting. I really enjoyed playing the games with them, making cards with them and teaching them to sing my favorite rounds! I was able to enjoy some one-on-one conversations with girls and to find out more what is inside their hearts.

The part I liked the most was being roommates with my colleague from Ireland. She really encouraged me in the Lord and shared her zeal for God’s Word. She even prayed for me before we went to bed. She was able to share interesting views about how the Irish Christians think and what God is doing in Ireland.

Most of all I was inspired to continue my walk with the Lord, spending time with Him daily in His Word and in prayer. I also want to memorize scripture more (anyone agree?!) Pray that Nate and I will keep Christ in the center and that we will follow Him daily.
