Friday 5: Quotable Students

Statements made to me by students in the past week.

1. Are there going to be notes handed out, or should I bring my own notebook?
   -A text received Sunday before the On-Fire Rallies from a student. I love the hunger to learn in that statement!
2. When you sent me that card saying you wanted me to go to PhillyGO, did you really pray about that and feel like God told you I should go?
   -Freshman guy I'm specifically encouraging to consider this Summer's evangelism training trip. I love the accountability in that statement.
3. Sorry to bug you, but could you pray for me? I feel like I'm supposed to be a youth pastor and I'm just not sure what to do with it.
   -Text from Junior guy who is leaning into his post-high school path. I was saddened that I may have given him the impression that this type of request would "bug" me, but I love the mystery and intrigue in the text and following conversations that have happened.
4. I think I've realized what the root lie is that I've bought into.
   -A college student who has been battling through depression and spiritual attack. A huge step!
5. hey I just wanted to let ya know that I'm still praying and thinking about ya.
   -Message sent through facebook by a college student who lost a father. It really meant a lot.
