So many things have happened since my last post-
-Camp went really well. The kids really did a great job. It is really awesome seeing them lead, and growing to be leaders everyday. Talking to some of the girls in the car on the ride home was great as well. It's awesome to see what God is doing with those kids. I am just so blessed to be able to watch.
-We had our team meetings. The one without coach didn't really get anywhere. But later that day coach had a meeting with us. He shared his story with us, which kind of caught me off guard. But for use to be open he knew that he had to open the floor by being open with us. I realized a lot of things during that meeting. Respect for me was one. And how does my team show me Love...or lack of Love in that case. There were things that I shared about my family that I wasn't even planning on talking about...def. cried. But it was good. All in all it was a successful meeting. --But now things are weird for me because of how honest I was....But in the end I'm sure it will be fine.
-Sunday night Pastor Peter Hong spoke about Relational Evangelism...Which has YOUNGLIFE written all over it. The things he spoke about really encouraged me for the things that I am doing. Doing homework and just hanging out at McDonalds where Von kids are is getting old....but he encouraged me to keep doing what I'm doing. It's doing life.....in places where they are at. Maybe I'll talk more about it in a later post.
-Yesterday I went to meet with the after school coordinator at Roosevelt HS with Elvin. She actually contacted me about getting information about Young Life.... Lets just say that God has opened a huge door. Seeing what it looks like is not in my sight right now....but God knows. And that is so awesome. And I feel so blessed that Elvin took me to the meeting with him. It was just really cool. And I just felt awesome afterwords. Be Big in this God!
-Club was great last night too. I Love taking kids home afterwords and getting slurpees at 7-11 is always awesome. And the kids like that.
-Our area leader meeting tonight was Bomb 2. I took 2 new potential leaders. Which makes me happy. God again Providing.
-Tomorrow we are meeting with students at Roosevelt...So Praying about that.

Today I spent time in 1 Peter 4.
One thing that really stuck out to me is when Peter talks about sin getting old, and staying away from it. It really hit home because that is exactly what happened/ what is happening. Peter really encouraged me today in the loneliness and all of the things I have been experiencing this year. So that's great.
