When students don't respond like I hoped for...
I feel sad. I'm much more quick to feel as though they aren't understanding me clearly or that they are missing out on an opportunity to grow rather than try and evaluate where exactly they are in life and more thoroughly dig into their response and its implications. While I do pray for wisdom and guidance, I would like to pray more specifically for some of my girls.
There have been other occasions during discipleship when a student didn't respond as I had hope and I knew that God had control over the situation - it was simply that the time wasn't right yet.
When I look at my staff account balance and contributions, I...
feel incredibly relieved. I know that it is definitely God handling my staff account and not me because I've barely done any MPD!
However, while I do have confidence that God is providing for me and working on my behalf, my approach to MPD is not a healthy one. To feel "relief" means that I'm going into my staff account stressed that the money won't be there. This signifies that I truly don't trust the Lord as much as I first assessed, while revealing the negligence and lack of action on my part.
