This week six small groups of freshman and sophomore girls met together for a special relationship panel discussion. In the weeks leading up to the event, we each asked our girls to write their questions about relationships -- everything from setting boundaries in relationships to being purposeful in a season of singleness. We had four "panelists" in different stages of life, as well as giveaways, yummy treats, warm drinks, and great conversation. What a wonderfully edifying time together!
Tables full to overflowing with delicious desserts!
I got to do the exciting giveaway portion of the evening --
two Ritter Sport chocolate packs, a glitter body lotion, and two books!

Sharing their wisdom with the girls
About 35 students gathered together for the event!
I was particularly encouraged by something one of the panelists said about trusting the Lord with each day: "Do you wake up each morning thinking that you're trusting in [Heather]? Or do you say that you are trusting in the Lord for your strength?" As I prepare to go on the high school retreat with my small group girls this weekend, I am relying heavily on the Lord for strength. Please pray with me that this weekend away is encouraging and challenging for each of the girls in my small group as we sing praises, learn from the Word, and spend time together.
