YUHHHHH for Young Life

Well, here we go. Recently, as in a week and one day ago, I got placed at a high school as a Young Life leader. For those of you who know me, this has been a long process. And now, it is finally happening. I felt called to this ministry last semester before the summer ended.  However, that was not in the Lord's plan. He had more things planned for me before I was to be placed. Because I didn't get placed this past spring I went to Discipleship Focus in Pigeon Forge. I fully believe that the Lord wanted me in Pigeon Forge this past summer and He knew the only way to get me there was to have Young Life "reject" me in a way when I applied for leadership this past spring. I believe whole-heartedly that if I had not been told no by Young Life then I would not have gone to Discipleship Focus and I would not be the person I am today. It was all in the Lord's plan. And now I am officially a Young Life leader at Fulton High School in East Knoxville. I am a FULTON FALCON! Fulton is considered an "urban" school due to its high ethnic diversity. I am really excited to see where the Lord leads me in this ministry. I cannot wait to meet kids and become their friend. I am super pumped to see what the Lord has in store for me and the kids I come in contact with. Tonight is my first club as a leader and I must admit I'm a bit nervous. But also super stoked about what the Lord has in store. I cannot wait to see how He moves through me and my fellow teammates to reach these high school kids. Prayers for me, my team, Fulton High School and its students are greatly appreciated. YUHHHHHHHHH!
