Thank you friends.
Today I had been decided to study for the test. But God did not let me do anything until I let the hurt about youth go. there were a lot of crying and talking with God then I started write down all the blessings I experienced being in the youth ministry and thanking God. I saw that God was so faithful and always sent help in the crisis. I have learned so much. I also wrote down how God blessed me using that leader. I haven't been very encouraging to her as well. I forgive her. She has a birthday in 2 days and I want to do something special for her. For sure we will talk sometime later.

Thank you Lord for giving me those skills and forgive me that I did not use them fully to glorify You. Teach me to be a good leader, teach me how to love and take care of people You bring into my life. Teach me to be humble. Lead me Lord Jesus, I want to serve you with all my heart.

Goofy I'm so proud of you, and Jesus is too. To see that you can forgive and put aside the differences and reach out to this youth leader in love, and especially on a day as a birthday. Oh that's wonderful.

luv ya

Just phoned my friend. She is at stepping Stone 3. She was so encouraged by it, that she wrote emails to her friends telling about God's grace and other things. God is really talking to her. She is so excited can't wait the next stone. the only obstacle is that she is very very busy know. she works till the late night this week, she sometimes reads the steps in the bus. She works at christian organization called IFES(International Fellowship of Evangelical Students). It has 15 years birthday in Latvia(Latvia is independent since 1991. A bit later there was revival when people was allowed to go to church and students started to meet in the basements to talk about Bible. It grow and now there is a Bible study group in every University in Latvia) very soon and there will be a big birthday party where involved a lot of people. And She is responsible for organizing it. something is not going very smooth. Please pray for my friend that event.

Oh Goofy, that's awesome to hear sis. So glad your friend is enjoying the steps as well. It's good that you are there for her, to encourage her to keep pushing through them. Sounds like she is very busy. Tell her to remember to keep God as her Strength, and she will do great with the project ahead.

It's so neat to hear you talk about how they went from studying in basements to all the universities. Praise God!!!

luv ya
