These days have been really sad for me lately. The last few weeks have made me think of so many different and great memories. As all of you know we have been involved in an amazing ministry called Young Life for the last four years. Our kids graduate on June 4th. We had the last Young Life club this week and I got to see 30 kids stand up and talk about what the Lord has done in there lives. So amazing. I have been crying for days. When we first volunteered to do Young Life I remember thinking I don't have the time or anything to offer these kids. At the time I didn't realize that God had his plan and we were just a small part of a bigger picture. These kids just wanted to be loved on and they absolutely loved feeling like a kid in a world that makes our teenagers grow up to fast. God allowed us to plant seeds in these kids that will forever change their lives. With all this being said the weirdest thing is I got more out of this ministry and serving than I ever gave. God changed my heart forever! He blessed me with the most amazing friends and YL family I could imagine. He revealed more to me through their eyes than I had ever seen before. He taught me that serving is all about giving up control and putting yourself out there. I am changed forever because of this ministry and am so humbled and blessed that I have had the best 4 years of my life.
Yes we are moving to Seattle but guess what.... they have Young Life there too!! So I look forward to the new chapter of ministry work that will be put in front of us.
