D'Now Wrapup A Little Late

This past weekend I had the opportunity to have ten 6th grade girls invade my house. It was a really great weekend, and I got to know some of the sweetest girls I have ever met. They are super crazy and confident in who God made them to be. The theme this weekend was "All Eyes on You" and suddenly I am reminded that now more than ever I must be aware of how I live my life. My responsibility to behave as a Godly young woman has been increased by 10. Not only does God see me, but I have 10 pairs of eyes watching me, along with all my students from Sunday School. What an awesome responsibility God has given to me. It isn't always easy, but I know I don't have to do it alone. I have a Savior on my side who will guide me the whole way, just like He does in every other area of my life. This weekend taught me patience, the inportance of lessons learned over things of this world, and that sometimes there doesn't have to be a big wow moment, the fact that God showed up and seeds were planted matters just as much as those wow moments.
Even as I type the words of a Nichole Nordeman song are pouring from my computer and they pretty much sum up how I feel at this very moment about this weekend and all the other things going on in my life...
"With every breath I take in, I'll tell You I'm grateful again. Because it's more than enough to know I am loved and to know You are good...I'll sing You a love song it's all that I have to tell You I am grateful for holding my life in your hand...You are so good!"
God IS good, I thank Him for the opportunity to work with these precious girls, and to any parents who read this blog: Thank you so much for allowing your girls to be a part of this weekend. I hope they had a great time, but more importantly learned more about the Savior.
