Module 3

When students don't respond like I hoped for I...
pray to God for guidance and aid. Basically, the only contact I have with students is during lifegroup. I can imagine encountering more feelings of frustration or disappointment if I were on campus as CCC staff - organizing multiple outreaches, large group meetings and opportunities to evangelize. Some evangelistic meetings can be the most disheartening! Currently, the key feeling I experience when I have a chat with my lifegroup girlie Cindy, and when she doesn't respond like I want her to, is one of confusion. I've pray to the Lord before, during and after our conversations. I know that it's not my place to radically change her heart, but I place my hope that He will use Cindy's and my relationship to help her see the light.


When I look at my staff account balance and contributions, I...
experience a whirlwind of emotions. Before clicking on the "View Monthly Donations" I feel very excited and I sit and stir with anticipation. I want to see that another supporter gave financially this month, or that someone gave more than they pledged, or that someone who didn't give last month gave this month. I look for surprises. There are times when my hopes turn into joy and one of the previously mentioned holds true. On the other hand, there are days when I wallow in the misery of realizing that I may have to contact more people for support, etc...

All in all, I definitely experience the former scenario over the latter, for which I am incredibly grateful. I am just now dipping into the surplus of funds/special needs gifts that I collected before I officially started working here.
