this week is finals week. and i don't feel that bad about it. it's going to be hard, but i feel the LORD right near and i feel confident in the way i've been diligent in my studies, keeping in mind i'm working for HIM and not for men.
it is amazing how much receiving a compliment from those you are serving alongside can mean, how much more it can mean, in fact, than coming from most anyone else. what a privilege it is to serve alongside the brothers and sisters that we have and still are this year. this salt leaders team is a fountain of life and a reflection of HIM. i felt my heart was being massaged this past thursday night as we spent 4 hours recognizing growth in each other, pointing out HIS handiwork and fingerprints on each other. even more awesome was the way a common thread was worked for each person, without having collaborated with each other about everyone's growth, we all see the same spirit, the same unique flair about everyone else. we realized after we left how much we needed those words, how much we needed to know that our growth in ministry is EVIDENT. what a sweet blessing.
it is beautiful in ellensburg today, and we just went on a blustery, but worthwhile bike ride. the groms really logged in the miles alongside us!
time to study. and keep on loving.
