Choosing to Love

My experience at Webster Elementary in Minneapolis has been much different from Saipan. Many of these kids come from very hard homelives and make poor choices that affect the climate of the classroom. I felt like giving up last week. I sat at a small cafe, just me and God, and I told Him I couldn't do this. I asked Him to encourage me, and He did so by reminding me that HE is my strength, that HE can work miracles, and HE can help these kids. It's gotta be Him. That night I committed to pray for each kid every day. I already have noticed a change! God completely transformed my attitude about being there. It is still hard and discouraging at times, but I know I am there for a reason. I think the main reason is to love these kids.
