The Sophomore Girls' prayer for the year has been "Dear Jesus, please help us be awesome people."
It started out as a joke, but then it stuck, so we went with it.
I've had the privilege of journeying with these ladies for almost 5 years now. They ask good questions, they explore what it means to love Jesus by loving their friends, their families, and sports teams, and they support me (physically as well as emotionally), even when I make decisions that mean leaving them right before SAT season.
More than anything, they teach me by example that being "awesome people" usually means being vulnerable and courageous and grace-filled, and leaving a lot of room for Jesus.
