I didn't really ever think twice about that. I have been a leader for mid-high school girls since i was in middle school myself! It's just second nature for me... point is - i took it for granted.
Being a leader, especially Abby's, is what i feel was fulfilling a calling. That is my calling - discipleship. And now that I am not doing that,... well, I just think that has a lot to do with my state of "empty heart". I think being a leader to someone like Abby gave me a reason for being outside of doing what I wanna do when I wanna do it... I loved it. I loved watching her grow in character, faith, and age. I have been her leader since she was in 5th grade sneaking into our afterschool program cuz her older brother was there. I remember helping her with her homework that first day I worked there. Our relationship is more complicated now, but I can only pray that God will keep us connected and help me help her however I can. Quaker Valley is a difficult school, socially speaking, and she and anyone else that goes there is gonna need all the support and love they can get. I just hope I'm still in the position to give it.
