So tonight was YoungLife Senior Club. I thought I wouldn't be emotional because I've only been with these girls for a semester. I thought that I wouldn't be that sad because I didn't watch these girls grow up and I didn't spend too much time with them before this past year.
I was wrong. I didn't get visibly emotional but at the end of club, watching the brave seniors stand on stage, in a place I was just 2 short years ago, and talk about what YoungLife has done for them was incredible. The point always being Jesus, and their appreciation for the organization. When they mentioned how much their leaders had done for them it was so touching. A girl I actually took to camp this summer came up to me after and thanked me for everything I'd done for her and in that moment I realized the gift that God gave me.
I often say that God could be doing this ministry without me and that it is a blessing that He has given me the opportunity to minister to high school girls, but to hear some of the testimonies from these students was pure blissful truth that I am the blessed one. The love I have for them is real, they have real souls and are going to go on to do real incredible things.
