Happy Belated Turkey Day!! It has been a whirlwind lately but I was able to spend my Turkey Day relaxing and seeing some old friends! I was telling a friend of mine today I feel like I am leading two different lives right now.....my "teacher" life and my Mission Adelante life. I love both but balance is definitely something God is impressing on me right now.
We only have two lessons left for Kids Adelante before our big end of the trimester party. It's weird to think a whole trimester has already passed. The kids are growing and learning so much about God and His faithfulness. In group a few weeks ago, to introduce Abraham, I asked the kids what they knew about Him. One of the girls volunteered in a very matter-of-fact tone that he is the Father of faith! I was so floored that we use that phrase all the time now. The kids have such wisdom that never ceases to humble me.
I have to be honest, there is a conversation tomorrow that's going to happen that is very heavy on my heart right now. One of the young girls has been experiencing some pretty significant issues right now. I don't feel that she's safe and I am going to sit down with her, her mom, and Jarrett within the next week. The kids don't have alot of people that fight for them and I know this will be significant for her to see us do this. I also know that she will react very negatively when she realizes that I broke her confidence. If loving her and showing her Christ fighting for her heart means that she doesn't like me very much, then the sacrifice is well worth it.
I will make sure to post some pictures of the upcoming gingerbread house decorating party and the end of the trimester party. Hope this finds you well!
