Last night I went to the accountability meeting with the girls at P's place. Her place is always so nice and cozy. There are just some girls who can decorate a place and make it all comfy, whereas there are others (like me) who can't think beyond the necessary furniture. Maybe I need to be more girlie. ;-) So anyways, we had a pretty good turnout for a Tuesday night, and after dinner we had some worship and then did the paper slip question activity that Priscilla and I came up with on Sunday. It was fun and a good casual way of getting to know each other and facilitate some sharing. Because we didn't have enough time at the end, I just figured we'd break up into pairs and pray among ourselves instead. Worked out great.
I was alittle troubled though, because P and I noticed quite a few heavy needs among the girls that night. I feel so helpless sometimes because I wish I can do more than I am capable of, or rather, there were more opportunities to help out with these areas. But I'm reminded that the welfare of this group is not solely within my responsibility or my human power to fix or redeem, but that God is still sovereign. And He knows each individual and each of the yearnings of everyone's hearts.... and with prayer and an attitude of faith, I'm reminded that God can work wonders in individual lives beyond my own human capabilities. And that's a relief to know that its not all up to me or Priscilla or Mike or Enoch or Wayne or whoever else. We can give it up to God knowing Romans 8:28.
Awesome. Now back to my paper. Bleh.
