Reunions

Hey everyone, Adam here.

Carmel Baptist has been here two full days now and it's been awesome hanging out with them. It helps that it is the youth group that I grew up in (the picture is of me and Emily Nolte, a girl that I went to youth group with for years and then interned with last year for the youth group). I've really enjoyed reuniting with youth leaders, friends, and students that I've led in various ways throughout the years. Seeing how each individual has grown physically and spiritually is truly amazing. Some of the kids I remember as timid 7th graders are now taking on leadership roles in the church. How humbling to see that God is raising up the next generation while I've been away at college. It can be easy to subconsciously fall into the mindset that God is only at work where we currently are. Thank God that this is not the case, because the impact that I am leaving is so small in the grand scheme of things.

I'm struggling to accept the fact that I have less than 3 weeks left in Harmons. There are so many things I still want to do and so many relationships I want to invest more into. I can only find rest knowing that God had a purpose for me this summer and I may never fully know what it was. Although I may never see the fruit of my labor I trust that God knows what he is doing.

Thanks everyone for the continuous support!

In Him,

Adam
