A youth attended the famine reluctantly. She wasn't overly anxious to be there. In fact, she had cancelled her RSVP for the soring break week. I was really disappointed because she has a lot of potential but she sometimes chooses to make the wrong decisions. After connecting with others during the famine and having some great experiences, she decided to come next week.
After I got home, she posted on my facebook about how I helped bring her closer to God. She shared that it's people like me who have made a difference and helped her. I didn't do much. I just showed her unconditional love and kindness. She didn't understand it and for a long time she drove me crazy. I'm pretty sure she was testing me to see if I would continue to love her. Tonight she was finally able to voice her feelings about God and about how she feels a change in herself.
There were about 40 people doing the famine but if during the famine I could reach just 1 youth, I consider it a successful weekend.
So where was God today? I'm pretty sure tonight He was rejoicing with me.
Blessings,
Jennifer
