I have had the great pleasure of discipling 9 children for the past month. We have had our ups and downs. Fights to get our schoolwork done, working on manners, loving our friends and listening the first time we are told to do something. We have had many moments of laughter and a few moments with tears but all in all the last month has been amazing.
I have been stretched and challenged in so many ways. The Lord definitely uses children to speak to us. (me especially) It’s so interesting to me that my life continues to revolve around children. Everywhere I go they are there and I have the chance to love on them. The pure uninhibited love that they share is amazing.
I’m glad that this group and there parents are part of my life. So tomorrow I say goodbye to half of them and it’s going to be quite emotional for me. This is by far the hardest part of my life. Saying goodbye to people I love. I am leaving them in the hands of their capable parents but even more importantly, the hands of God.
C.J., B.K., Laura, Erin and Robyn I will miss you dearly but I’m looking forward to visiting you when I am in South Africa!
