influence.

there is so much hurt in the heart of my kids at Crestview.

words can't really describe all the pain that is present in their hearts... i know that sounds cliche... words can't describe...

but it's the truth.


I am learning a lot. I have the privilege of being available to these kids and to love on them.

And out of my love for these kids comes relationship and out of relationship comes trust and with trust comes dependability and dependability is followed by stability, and because of stability... because I am one thing in these kid's lives that is stable... comes influence.

I am just now slowly realizing the influence I have.

I pray that it is positive.

I long to provide constructive advice and to be a life changing influence on these kids that shapes and radically alters their life towards the Truth.

I pray for patience and the discernment to do this ministry well.

Continually grateful for this opportunity.

Blessings my friends.
