I came across this quote: “Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.” – Mother Theresa. Lauren, one of our confirmation mentors I believes embodies this idea. Following confirmation this past Wednesday she hung around and waited for me to finish conversations with students and parents. She opened with this phrase, "what a great night!" I know the thought of spending the night with middle school students would scare some. But she is not just doing a ministry but rather investing in the lives of four young girls and it is already starting to pay off. As she described the authentic level of personal sharing of their lives and the faith discussions and their spiritual growth, I could literally see the joy in her eyes. I can't help but think this comes from her being a joyful person. Now she has caught souls. If only I could travel down the corridors of time to see how the investment she spends with her team makes a difference for eternity. For all the Lauren's out there, keep up the good work.
