...tend to get discouraged initially. I struggle with being performance-oriented, so I feel a personal sense of failure when students don't respond in the way I had hoped. I generally respond this way when I'm not walking in the Spirit. I try to perform in ministry out of my own power, and that generally fails no matter what I do. When I am filled with the Spirit, relying on Him to work through me, it is much easier to continue trusting the Lord even when students don't respond how I had hoped. I do like to step back and evalute why they didn't respond well, but I can separate my own performance from the situation and look at things through the Lord's eyes.
