I have a lot of things on my mind...
I met with Elvin today about YoungLife. He loves what I'm doing. He oozes Jesus, and I love it. Having coffee with him today was so good for me. He wants me to teach a seminar in the fall. He asked me what I think I could teach about; something that I'm good at, passionate about, and think that I could clearly teach/ inform other people about. Wow. Weird. Who would have ever thought I would be doing this. He said such great things about me today that just uh. make me cry. He was describing my gifts and how great I am and what he see's for me... And that was something that I needed today.
So I told him Outreach is something that I am really passionate about. Meeting kids where they are at. I've learned alot about that, and have been doing it for a long time...even right now...but it's more challenging now. We will see. I have alot of things to pray about this summer for what should go on in the Fall. Lets just say God is so great. Telling Elvin today that I shouldn't take kids to camp was hard...but at the same time so easy, and I feel so good about it. What I'm doing with the Von kids is so much more effective and he assured me of that. He just wanted to hear stories about the girls. He is so great. He truly cares about what I am doing...and how I am doing...and how he can help me be more effective. What a great area director.
Going off of that...the extra time that I get to spend with the team..I'm so blessed for that. I not only need to stay...but after today I really want to stay. And the team expects that from me. And well so does mr.erikson. lol. But it's great. I care about those girls..and I can't just leave them hanging at the most important part of their season.
And staying also means maybe hanging out with you a few times.
Talking to you makes me so happy....and spending little bits of time with you is like one of my favorite things. I still am hesitant about things with you...cuz it scares me. I know God has a plan...and if things fall apart thats for a reason. But that's hard for me. And you know that. And I know that I shouldn't care about that. But its hard.
-I pray that you are doing really well. I pray that God uses you in extroardinary ways.
Not having class is great....spending time with great people....Had 2 people on my list to spend quality time with...and I knocked one off the list the last night...So Great!
