Monday Nights

Monday nights have turned into my favorite night of the week. This semester I signed up to mentor a college student, so every Monday, Bekah comes over for dinner and fellowship. Our time together is so refreshing for me and a great way to start my week. We are studying I Corinthians together – really getting deep into the word to see exactly what Paul was saying to both the church in Corinth and to Christians in the 21st century – and she has wisdom that far exceeds her 20 years. I am supposed to be discipling her, but I come away learning so much instead.

In addition, my children love Mondays, too. This is really the first time in their lives that we have had adults at our house that are not accompanied by children of their own. It is so much fun watching them to relate to adults that are not their parents or their friend’s parents. Both kids look forward to seeing Miss Bekah (and want to know if she can spend the night). Even better, she seems delighted to see them, too.

I signed up to serve a college student, instead I have been abundantly blessed. I am overwhelmed by the goodness of God. I encourage all of you to find someone to serve – maybe your service will be blessed, too.
