WEEK NINE

This week was nothing spectacular but I could not get my five girls off of my mind. There was no youth group due to thanksgiving and Bethany and I had not met with the girls for almost two weeks because of Florida and Thanksgiving Break. After talking about it with Bethany we decided to call the girls and come up with a time to meet, hoping that all of them couuld make it to the meeting. I first called Tamara who sounded excited about the group and I asked her to call a couple of the other girls who we have yet to get their phone numbers. Next, I called Hannah. Hannah also seemed excited to hear about group meeting and was wondering if we were going to be meeting this week. After this, I asked her how her two weeks had been and she went into a little bit about that. Then she asked me how Florida was and I told her a little bit about what we did and how we did in our games. This week was nothing super exciting but I feel it had lasting difference. Staying connected with a youth group or small group is so important. Just two days ago, I recieved an email from my youth pastor back hom encouraging me and saying that I will always have a fan in Spring Arbor. These emails from him are things that I save and re-read at times, just because they remind me of what I learned in high school and that someone cares. I hope that these girls will start to feel the same way. I hope that I can begin to show them Christ's love that is unconditional.
