So, this weekend i had the privilege of hanging out with the coolest guys around. i went to camp with my friends from baldwin high school where i do YOUNGLIFE( the greatest thing ever invented). YL camps are special because when you go as a leader you dont have to do anything but hangout with your kids which is awesome because through that you get to know them so much better.
i went into camp thinking that i was gonna have fun with my boys on elast time before i quit doing YL in may, but its funny how things change once relationships grow. long story short by the time camp was over on sunday i had realized that there was no way in this world i could go through the rest of my life without YL. i mean if wasnt for Gods use of YL i wouldnt be a believer myself. YL has been the biggest blessing in my life and i will continue to give my time and energy away to high schoolers until i am old and dead.
sharptop cove 09 will for me go down in history as the best time i have had with my boys ever, not just because of all the fun that we experienced but also bc of all the talks about God we had! as a leader i have been scared in the past to ask them the hard questions and have always walked away from camp thinking why the heck didnt i say this or why didnt i just tell them like i was and let them soak it up however they felt necessary..? but this year was different because i finally had the stones to say the hard thing that maybe they didnt want to hear and maybe/ more than likely had never thought about. and my boys were open about their thoughts and feelings and as womanly as it sounds, we spent time just talking and being honest with each other and our struggles strengths and life stuff..
Thank you God for showing up to camp and hanging out with us.. youre are one of a kind.
