Student Impact

My hiatus from blogging is only due to the crazy-mad schedule Jordan and I are on these days. once school starts, we barely have time to breath; much less spend time with people we love. we play catch up on the weekends, whether that's laundry, cleaning or resting. Saturday and Sundays are sacred to us and we try seek to find refreshment and rejuvenation somehow.  though the days are busy and pack full, we both know that God is using us some how, some way. It's not until little moments that we recognize that our measly selfs are being used.

There are moments in our jobs that sometimes we don't see purpose or the fruit that is growing in our students. We can easily get discouraged or question our position and role. However, this past friday I believe God reminded us of WHY we are doing what we are doing. And that our job is not a job at all, but a ministry.

Last Friday, was a normal day with classes, work and scheduling. However, during our lunch hour we were humbled to have some of our former students come visit is. They were on break from college and wanted to make an effort to come catch up over lunch. It blessed Jordan and I so much that they took the time without anyone asking them. We visited for about 2 hours and got to hear how their first few months of college has been.

Our Lunch Date!


I can still hardly believe that they wanted to see us. It was in that moment that I knew God had been using Jordan and I to build relationships with these young adults that begin a year ago. We hope our friendship with them will remain for years to come.

My hope is that God will continue using us to influence others and somehow make an impact. It is only through Him that lives are changed.
