"You make me grow older"

Usually, the team I work with and I, focus on the spiritual life and growth of our students, and contacts, and baby Christians, but sometimes God decides that it's time for us to focus on our own spirituality and be grown ourselves; that's what it's felt like the past month or so anyway. March and April have been some very challenging, and fairly stressful months, for all on the team, but having come through to this point and looking back, I can see how God has been shaping, teaching, and growing each of us. I now find myself being able to do things I could not before and understanding more and feeling prepared for things that ly ahead. It has been hard, but it has all come to the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. It is good to be older (wiser/grown) though I've sometimes felt that I would not be able to bear how quickly it came.
