I've now been serving in my church youth group for a year and a half. The time has past quickly and I have been blessed beyond measure. Part of our youth ministry is what we call our yac's, or "youth after church". Different families in the church host the teens after Sunday night church and provide food for them. Sometimes, like last night, it's a bonfire with games in the dark scary woods (no thank you!). Other times it might be inside playing games or at someone's pool or singing with the guys' and their guitars or just a fun night of laughing and chatting with each other. Last night Eden was taking lots of pictures as usual, and Liz wanted one with me. She shouted, "Who wants a picture with Lindsey?!" And all these kids here...about half our group...came running over all excited to be in the picture. It was so sweet! My smile is so huge because it made my heart swell with the love they were showing for me, one of the bossy adults they have to put up with. =) Thank God for amazing teens and the privilege of being their friend and mentor!
