I am a Young Life leader

Hello friends!
Yesterday I was asked by my head leader in Young Life to write a 1-2 paragraph story about me and one of my Young Life girls that I mentor. It is going to be placed out in the Young Life news letter that we send out and the title of it is called "On the Frontlines with Kids." I thought I'd share with ya'll the story I wrote for the news letter. Ever since I have became a Young Life leader, my life has been changed tremendously. The relationships I have developed with these girls have had such a huge impact on my faith, and my girls are each so passionate and bold in their devotion to Christ. What a blessing this experience has been so far. Now, onto my story...Enjoy!


"I'll never forget the first time I met Georgia. A bright smile and a shy laugh, I could tell she was excited to be at Campaigners for the first time. I would have never imagined that almost two years later I would still be her Young Life leader, and that we would become as close of friends as we are today. I love how open we are always able to be around each other, and how she always makes me laugh for a long time. I never feel that I have to hold anything back whenever I'm sharing my heart with her, and I think a big reason for that is because Jesus is the center of our friendship.
     As I have watched Georgia grow in her walk with The Lord over the past couple of years, I am both humbled and filled with joy. She has continuously taken new leaps of faith, and I admire how she always trusts The Lord to take care of her heart. We have experienced many joyful moments together, as well as some tough ones. As I look back on all that we have been through with our friendship, I am so thankful to have had her by my side. I'm blessed to be her Young Life leader and I look forward to the journey ahead we have together in Christ."
