I am a pretty sentimental person...ok very...so dates are a big deal to me, even seemingly more insignificant ones. But I had the blessing of celebrating a very important date last Wednesday night at The Link. It was my Small Group 1 Year Anniversary! I have now had the priv
elege of formally being the now Senior Girls small group leader for a year! It has flown by! While I have been a part of their lives for going on 5 years now, this last year has meant more to me than they know. We have done so much together...grown, laughed, cried, spent lots of time together, prayed, & laughed some more! They have each had a significant impact on my life & they have encouraged me
. They allow me to be me...they have seen me in joy & in trial...they walk right through it all with me! They are each so gifted & beautiful...and they LOVE the Lord! They have taught me so much about Him...perhaps the Lord had me be their leader more f
or my benefit than theirs...pretty sure! God shows me so much through them & refines me because He has allowed me to be their leader. The cool thing is that for the most part, they are stickin' around here when they graduate! (Thank You Lord!) Not sure what I would do if they all left! Yes, I am thei
r leader, but they are my sisters & friends too. This last year has been quite the year for me personally, but they have been their cheering me on & I am eternally grateful & changed because of them. I only hope to walk in such a way to lead them closer to Christ & that my footsteps would not be mine, but the Lord's, to draw them closer to Him. The Lord is the thrill of my life, no questions asked. But these girls come closely after that...they are a passion & joy to me. An e
xample that Christ is alive & thriving in hearts & minds. A reminder of God's amazing goodness. Thanks for such an awesome year girls! On to the next!

Happy Anniversary! You are a wonderful small group leader, and it's quite obvious that your girls love you very much (and vice versa). What a team, spurring one another on to love and good works. :)
