Lately God has shown me his faithfulness in so many ways…even in the smallest, who cares, ways. My small group/Bible study is the focus of my life right now. I’ve spent so much time preparing for it and writing the study, I feel very dedicated and consumed by it. I’m now 3 weeks into it and I’ve already seen amazing things happening. Just the amount of girls is astonishing. I feel very confident that the things I studied over the summer truly came from God. I know that 43 girls wouldn’t come to hear what I have to say, God maybe, but not me! Listening to the comments and hearing how girls are changing is so incredible. I mean, that’s the whole point right?

Tonight was the first night of small group. The first night always stresses me out and makes me nervous-everything is new and unpredictable. So many girls want to come (or say they want to come!), but then you never know if it’s just good intentions or if they really will come. Plus on top of that I can never start a group with a lesson, so it’s always a little awkward. No one knows each other, there’s not much to teach about, and it’s just one of those social frustrations that you always have to get through for the good stuff to start.
