That was about 1 year ago.
Sunday night at our leadership meeting, we were asked the question "What makes you want to love and serve Jesus more? What stirs your passion?"
One of the first things that came to my mind, were these 15 amazing girls.
It is hard for me to put into words how differently I feel now, compared to how I felt in the beginning.
I remember when I was in high-school. I was silently crying out for someone to talk to. Someone who could give wise counsel, and love me unconditionally. I so badly wish that I could have had a group of girls and a leader who I could have been myself around. Who I could have asked to pray with me, cry with me, celebrate with me. I pray earnestly that I can be that person to these girls.
A piece of my heart has been given willingly to my small group. I am witnessing their lives being changed on a weekly basis. I am amazed at the work of God.
When I think about the hearts, talent, potential, and love for God that these young women carry with them, it motivates me. They make me thankful, they make me want to praise God.
What motivates you to Praise???

Aww...Amanda, my luv that's so sweet! I feel very privileged to have a small group leader like you...and you're completely right, you are that person...because when I feel like I've got no one to talk to and no purpose to be here, You're there for me to talk to and remind me that JESUS is the purpose I am here. Someday I hope to walk with as much faith as you do! Love you!
