You know when you're in primary and the teacher calls on one of the boys to share their favorite scripture? Grinning they repeat the only scripture they know word of word:
"Jesus wept."
This verse hit different this week.
I've gone through phases in my life, some where I cry over forgetting to brush my teeth and others where I can't remember if I've ever cried before. This week? A new cry. We had a lesson that left me shell shocked, unsure of what to think or feel. As I laid on my bed, silent tears streamed down my face. I love this guy that we're teaching so much and my heart wasn't sure how to help him. My comp sat by my side and said the kindest words, "You care too much. Christ wept because He cared and so do you."
THERE'S NO SAD TEARS HERE only tears of caring:)
I love where I am and I love what I'm doing!! There are moments where it's tough, but there are so many more moments where I can't keep a smile off my face! As my good friend said, "It's the hard days that make you appreciate the good ones even more." Embrace the hard and love it!
Love big! Love hard!
