Encouragement/Discouragement

Tonight I had to take one of my little neighbor friends back home from church because he was really being disrespectful to me. His momma has told me not to put up with it and I am following her instructions. He use to be one of the best kids. He is turning 12 soon and I think there is something challenging about that age. I remember my Mom telling me that you have the terrible 2's and the terrible 12's. He said to me tonight that I was treating him like one of my own kids. He meant it as an insult but I took it as a compliment :)

At youth group tonight there were at least 10 kids from our neighborhood that didn't get a ride to church from me! Praise God that they are getting there on their own and bringing friends. How cool is that! I am so encouraged to see God working!

  1. Girl - I hear your heart of discouragement. Do not give up - do not give in - do not retreat! Galatians 6:9 "Do not grow weary in doing good for in due season you will reap a harvest If you do not give up."

    You are an inspiration!

  2. If you want me to reach out to him and hang out with him I will. We were going to but it never happened.
