So... I haven't written for awhile. I've been all over the place this summer, and online blogging was not one of them :P

Right now my travels have taken me to a school that deals with High-Risk Students. They take the tough kids, the ones that have no future where they are at. This school gives them help.

I think my favourite student at this point... Is Faith... She's a girl that grew up in an orphanage, and was adopted into an American home about 3 yrs ago. She has lost contact with her siblings, and she harbours alot of anger inside. She knows she has alot of anger. But I don't think she realizes quite the problem it presents. I don't believe I fathom quite the problem it is, and whats trully going on inside of her. But here is the blessing I have recieved from Faith. She believes in God. She wants to do His will and can quote the bible a million times better  then I can... (probably due to her many punishment assignments :P but still...) I've had a couple good conversations with her and I've read her "diary" the notebook where she keeps her thoughts (that staff are suppose to read to see how she's doing) Yes, most of her "faith" may be glorified so we think she's doing ok... I get that. But when I look at her, I see a victim of this world's tragedies... I see the young woman I could be right now if I hadn't had the home I grew up in and made the choice to follow Christ a long time ago. But through it all... She's living up to her name. Faith. I think I made a different point then my original intended message... but somehow it got lost and maybe this is what God wants me to say instead...

But please pray for Faith. Pray that she is able to let go of her anger and that she lets God lead her where she needs to be. Pray for me, that I may be able to reach Faith in a way that maybe no one else can. Pray for the staff here, that they may be able to have the patience and the strength to deal with Faith and the rest of these kids every day, and that they may be a blessing to and recieve a blessing from each of the students. And last but certainly not least... Pray for yourself, that you may be able to have the faith that a High-Risk student called Faith has.
