Trying something new was...
frustrating! I'm specifically thinking about co-leading lifegroup this year. I have left the MIT campus a number of times on Thursday nights wishing that I could lead the group by myself. My student co-leader doesn't see leadership in the same light that I do - in a servant attitude and with greater purpose. As she said, we have "different leading styles," and it's frustrating when she doesn't see how my example is more helpful for the group at times. However, this experience gives me reason to pray for her more and to lean on God all the more to move in her heart and mind.
When I feel disappointed with God, I...
don't stay that way for long. If I'm recalling correctly, I believe that last year I didn't really have any experiences of disappointment with God to report. Fifty-two weeks later, I still have limited accounts to speak of, but moments of disappointment I have had were just that - moments. They always centered around God seemingly not answering a specific prayer of mine. However, I soon discover how God's plan turned out for the better, or just as I had hoped, but in a different way. From where I sit, I trust that God knows and works for the best.
