I have a couple other good news reports. I've gotten with and heard about a number of students dealing with anxiety and depression. This is not good news obviously. Sadly, it is super common, and students all over our campus are dealing with these issues. The good news is, I've gotten to see improvement in these students. God is working in them and through other things, to bring healing to their lives and allow them to experience life closer to what he intended for them. That's exciting! These students are now more equipped and able to share with others how God can work in their lives to bring healing as well. How cool!
Another interesting piece of good news...
Last year my heart was broken when I found out a student I invested in for years in a very deep way had been lying, and basically living a fake life. She was caught up in serious sin, and wasn't willing to admit it until it was obvious I knew, and she wasn't willing to give that up. It really was heart breaking to me. Sadly she ended up leaving our ministry. Aside from being a student I minister to, she really had become one of my very dearest friends. I loved her and still love her so much. Well, yesterday I received a long hand-written letter from her. We had gotten together a couple of times since she left but nothing too serious was discussed. To get this letter from her was so encouraging and uplifting. She apologized and said thank you. She realized now how much I loved her and how much I really cared about her relationship with God more than anything. I didn't need to be apologized to, or thanked, but it brings me much joy to know God is still working on her heart and in her life and that she hasn't given up. Please pray for her. She is so dear to me, and I am glad that God is working to restore her as well as our relationship, although I never turned my back on her, things have been estranged.
God is good, and so powerful. He is working and doing great things on our campuses. Thank you for being invested in this. It means so much to me, truly. You are making a difference in generations!
