I had lunch with my former youth leader today. She supported and inspired me through the years. And, one of the reasons I became a youth leader is because of her. I wanted to help youth like she had helped me when I was a teen. So, today was a chance to visit and share memories, thoughts, and ideas. And we definitely did since we had a three hour lunch!
It was such a great time to spend looking back and ahead at the same time. I was able to talk to her about things I'm doing now and find out how she had dealt with situations then. And, then we talked about life. It was great being a "grown up" and just chatting. And, then, I wanted her to know how much she meant to me because I think it's important. If you had someone help you along your spiritual journey, I encourage you to take the time to let them know that they had a role in your life. I'm sure it's not why anyone does it, but you may be encouraging them to continue or at the very least, acknowledging that what they did made a difference.
So, where was God? He was in the moment this person was put in my path and He's been there the whole time.
Blessings,
Jennifer
