A lot has happened since the decision to go ahead with what's next. I am now in full swing and realize that I am going to have trouble catching anyone up on all that has transpired. So, here it is in 30 seconds or less:
All of this officially began on May 6th, the day after graduation. In the last month, I have shed tears of frustration, confusion, and doubt over what I am being called to do. But, God has seen fit to give me grace. He has imparted to me the vision of a group of 12 seventh graders who will meet twice a week after school, who will become rooted in Him. They will be like trees planted by the water, who send their roots out by the stream. They will not fear when heat comes; their leaves are always green. They have no worries in a year of drought and they never fail to bear fruit. (Jeremiah 17:7-8)
This group, called "Roots," will be built up in the Word and in prayer. They will serve the community, to bring healing to the broken and to bring light into darkness. Their families will, themselves, be affected by their children's walk with the Lord.
Today is Day 19 of a 30 day prayer. I am praying for consistency and faithfulness for myself as I try to carry out this calling. If you feel led, pray with me for the remaining 11 days. Also, pray for the 12 as I reach out to them and their families and invite them to be a part of this.
Blessings,
Amy
