Yeah, I have a lot of plates spinning. But it’s always nice to get the reminder that I am here to minister to students.
Mission trips. Research papers. Fun events. None of that matters without the core reality of people ministry.
Amist all that is going on we have some perfect illustrations of students who are starting to see opportunities to share Christ with their friends. They are really starting to see a difference between who’s a circle and who’s a square because they’d prayed about it. Because they’ve made it a priority to seek out opportunities they are starting to see opportunities.
Right now I’ve got a student who has just figured out that her best friend may not be saved and is looking for ways she can take what they normally talk about and turn it into a conversation about the Lord. Tuesday afternoon, we’ll be having a conversation between about 5 students where we’ll seek to reconcile some broken relationships. It’ll be hard, but it is awesome to see God be proclaimed into a nasty situation.
This is the heart of ministry. Students seeking to please the Lord with their friendships, their personal relationships, their school work, their service hours, their future plans, and their day-to-day time.
Thanks Lord for reminding me again why I do what I do.
