One Last Time...

Well, that's it. Our last sleepover has come and gone, marking the official end of girls' group. It was a little sad but all in all we had a great time. For the first time ever, all 15 girls were there and as crazy as that was, I could not have been happier to celebrate the last year and a half all together. We had a blast playing some wild and crazy games in the gym...

The slideshow was a definite hit and the "Girls' Group Jeopardy" was a lot of fun as well. It was great to see how much the girls remember from all that we've talked about over the past 18 months. As we were settling down into our time of discussion I invited the girls to share about something they have learned, something that has touched them, or a way that they have changed as a result of our times together and I was so blessed by their responses – everything from making new friends and increased self-confidence to developing an actual relationship with God, praying more often, understanding that God’s love never changes, etc. We ended off the evening with a brief lesson in cake decorating which the girls then got to try out for themselves…

I am so thankful for the last year and a half and for the awesome privilege it has been to know and love these girls and to play a small part in the amazing work that God is doing in their lives.

Girls, in case you ever read this, I love you and I am going to miss you so much…
