My two oldest children left for Young Life camp Sunday. Seeing them excited and looking forword to this week was such a blessing to me.
Three years ago, when we moved backed to Mississippi, decided to live in Madison, and send our children to public schools, I was determined to find a way for my children to meet other Christian teens. I knew Young Life was big in Jackson, but I found out it was not yet at Madison Central, so the next year, it became my mission to bring it to Madison. With the help from the Jackson leaders and another family I knew in Madison, we spent the first year putting together a committee and finding a leader for our area.
The process was slow. Last year, we were pleased with the 6 students that signed up for YL summer camp. So, you can't imagine how excited I was that this year we filled a whole bus headed to Sharptop Cove. I have never met an individual that didn't say that their week at a YL camp was one of their best experiences of their lives.
So, I am thanking God this week for this organization and the young people that devote their time and lives reaching out to teens, and I pray that lives will be touched this week. God is so faith.
