Katie, who's one of my senior high students and an awesome member of the Flipside team, told me to check out these verses from Lamentations. You need to read them, too.

Lamentations 3:21-24 [NCV] But I have hope when I think of this: The Lord's love never ends; his mercies never stop. They are new every morning; Lord, your loyalty is great. I say to myself, "The Lord is mine, so I hope in him."

We tried to find it in Pidgin, but the POTB [Pidgin Old Testament Bible] isn't published yet, so we settled for the Message:

Lamentations 3:22-24 [MSG]God's loyal love couldn't have run out, his merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over). He's all I've got left.

yeah, Katie's pretty awesome. we got to talking about how the book of Lamentations is so crazy, and how even though sometimes it feels like God isn't there, when we're patient and faithful, things work out.

she spoke into my life with boldness and authority, and she didn't even know it. God is working through our students, folks. He's using them to make a difference in the world.
