I'm not going to lie, I was anxious about this weekend. Of the 30+ leaders at this DNow, I know 1. There are 180+ kids here and it's really intimidating to not know anyone. I got here and sat at a table like the quiet girl during the leader meeting, then came to my host home. I'm the only leader for my group, which almost makes it more difficult because I don't get a chance to interact with any of the other leaders.
I got to my host home and the family is so sweet. The girls took no time at all warming up to the strange college girl they got stuck with and it has been constant laughing since the beginning. It was such a relief and it really put me in my place. I've been anxious about not knowing anyone, but nothing matters more this weekend than the relationships being built in my group. I don't need to be worried about my own comfort. If I'm not willing to be uncomfortable, these girls won't be willing to be uncomfortable either. I'm so excited to see what God is going to do this weekend.
Praying for you and the girls this weekend. Sounds like there will be all these new random people showing up on your news feed now! :)
