Hello friends, its been a while. Recently I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a job at my church working in the childcare. Working with children can be really tough at times and in all honesty, its kind of overwhelming. Overall I love it and I love the people and the environment. Last Sunday the service was kind of about relying on God in your hopelessness and the main campus pastor asked the crowd to take a huge leap of faith and muster up the courage to stand if he or she felt hopeless. Usually when he asks those kinds of questions not many people stand but this time, it was different. So many people gave their fear and anxiety to the Lord and realized that they couldn’t go through this alone. The pastor then asked the church to gather around the ones who felt hopeless and pray with them and it was such a beautiful sight just seeing the church really become one. I was in tears by the end of the service because I was so moved by the message. Although I myself do not feel hopeless there were so many people around me that did and it was like being blind and then being able to see. Im aware of other peoples situations more so than I was before and I feel like I am more capable of helping others through their depression and anxiety more now although I do not personally experience those things.
Lately I’ve been struggling with stress and time management and I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and almost burdened with school. I have never been the one who loved school and getting up super early to get ready. I’ve always appreciated school and my education and teachers I’ve just never necessarily enjoyed it. I’ve been praying for motivation and drive to just be able to finish out my senior year strong so hopefully it will get better soon.
God has been showing me recently that I really do have a passion for people and helping others. He is constantly strengthening me in my ability to listen to people and help people through their issues. I am so thankful for the people he has placed in my life because being able to help them with their issues kind of helps me work through mine and take my own advice.
As always the prayers and donations from everyone are so appreciated.
With love and gratitude,
Lucy
