Bitter Sweet

So today was my last Sunday at Hillsboro for the time being. I have one more semester at good 'ole NGU then I can return here to my students. God has given me such a passion for these students and some of them have really begun to open up and try to be themselves.

I was able to take one of my students to a professional counselor this weekend at YEC and we were able to make a breakthrough!! She told the counselor all about her life and the crap that she has gone through. I'm so proud of her. I just hope now she will be able to accept Christ!

I also called out one of my girls for being a FAKE! She was cussing at home and around other people but tried to be up my butt at church. She wants to be like me, but she is only like that around me and everywhere else she tries to please others. GOSH! That is the one thing that grates at me... BEING FAKE! Because I attend a Christian University I have seen my fair share of fake people. The people that get on stage to lead the body in worship, but sleep with their girlfriends.... GOSH that just grates at me. I think being fake makes me so angry is because I was totally the queen of being fake when I was in high school. I walked around like everything was peachy, but I was dying inside because something wasn't right. I was not leading my life solely for Christ. It just grates at me to think that one of my students who sees me and talks to me on a daily basis would think that being fake was being a good Christian. I just hope I got through to her.

Well I have Kids Camp in the morning and I need to start packing my office afterwards.... BLAH, I really don't want to do that! I can't wait till I can be in my students lives for more than just a few months at a time!

Girl, senior-itis is the worst...I was SO ready to be done my senior year. You can do it!! You have a wonderful job to go to when you finish college. Just dont wish away your last semester as a "carefree" adult. The real world will never compare. And in my experience, there will never be another time when you are surrounded by people of your own generation on a daily basis.
