My heart is breaking...Today I am so aware of all the lies Satan is telling our students. I so badly wish that we could just tell them life can be happy and care free, but I know they are already finding out that that is not the case. Life is hard, confusing, and just down right stinks sometimes. It's one thing when you go through things yourself and mostly I just put on a pity party, but seeing middle and high school students struggle through the Truth of Jesus vs the lies of Satan is just really heartbreaking. But I can't help but REJOICE as I hear other students talk about how much Jesus has changed their life and that they are saying it in front of the ones struggling.
It just reminds me of why we are here. Just like one of our middle school girls said...I just want everyone that I see everyday to believe in Jesus so that they can be happy with us in Heaven. I want that too. Even though doubts come up in my own head and life is a struggle, there is a hope and a promise and a purpose to what we are doing.
And even though my heart is breaking for the kids who are fighting through the struggles and questions, I rejoice because God is bringing them closer to Himself through those struggles and allowing me and Brian to just be there witnessing it! That is something to be thankful for!
I pray that all of our students would find the True Life that can only come from Jesus Christ.
