being a small group leader in the student ministry blesses me WEEKLY.

tonight, a girl was sharing about her salvation/baptism story didn’t feel very big or interesting

another girl quickly chimed in with, “and angels still rejoice in Heaven.”

fun story:
One time in undergrad (my senior year) my favorite professor passed me in the hall and said “He is risen!” and I said, “So true.”

it wasn’t until the next day in class that I learned “He is risen indeed.”

Preparing the 4yo:
So what do you say when someone says to you, “He is risen!”
4yo: Cool.

best part of having a desk job is having a desk drawer exclusively for snacks

on Monday, I start my new job as an administrative assistant in the counseling center at my church.

God is so kind.

[andie dillow @andie_gail]

Today, the Lord said “yes” to something I have been asking Him for for nearly three years.
His “yes” looks different that I expected, but better than I could’ve imagined.
And my friends and I got to praise God together for His “yes.”

[andie dillow @andie_gail]

Something the Holy Spirit has taught me over the past couple years is to get comfortable asking for prayer.

I had always been afraid of burdening my friends to pray for me but then I learned what an honor it is to intercede for them & watch God move in their lives.

[andie dillow @andie_gail]

This also required me to let go of a loooot of pride- something He & I are still working on. Rejecting the “I’m all good, I got this” mentality is NOT something that comes naturally to me.
But the REWARD in vulnerability. The peace that enters my life when my friends pray.

Young adulthood is just recirculating the same 3-5 gift bags on any and all gift giving occasions within the friend group

[andie dillow @andie_gail]

holy moment tonight: looking over during my church’s prayer & worship event and seeing one of my tenth grade girls with her arm wrapped around another, praying over her sister.

I say it all the time- being a small group leader is the BEST.

[andie dillow @andie_gail]

tonight one of my tenth grade girls walked up to me at church, announced that she brought wings, and proceeded to pull a tupperware of bbq chicken wings from a bag.

I want to be like her when I grow up.

as a service industry worker, there are few phrases more beautiful than “take your time”

[Dan Hyun / 현 성 운 @villagedanhyun]

God doesn't get tired of you. He's not sick of you. You don't wear him out. He doesn't think you're annoying. You're not a burden.

Keep coming.

This most recent term of grad school was my most difficult.

I doubted myself more than I ever have.

“Am I smart enough?” “Will I become a good therapist?”

I just checked my final grades.

4.0 for the term. That hasn’t happened since elementary school.

Praise be to God.

[andie dillow @andie_gail]

planning what to get my friends for Christmas & now writing their names on their gift tags is such a sweet reminder of the Lord’s faithfulness.

I tried so hard for so long to fit into places that weren’t meant for me- but now I see why that never seemed to work.
