called.

Never in my life have I felt more called to young life than these past few months. I have gotten more frustrated at my girls than ever before. Thinking about some of them brings me to tears. I honestly couldn't imagine my life without being a leader and hanging out with these girls. 

One of the hardest things about the ministry to me is willing taking a backseat. Texting a girl about plans and instead of making plans having the response be "I'll have to see what I have going on." I LOVE being a kinda person who can just pick up and do something with a friend, but when it comes to Young Life, that means going to Sparta most of the time, which isn't so easy. 

So I like to have plans. But they like to see what everyone else is doing first. Totally understandable. But so frustrating. After having this happen, I came across this: 

"The fundamental building blocks of the kingdom are relationships. Not programs, systems, or productivity. But inconvenient, time-consuming, intrusive relationships. The kingdom is built on personal involvements that disrupt schedules and drain energy."

WOW. So great. I love how God always knows what I need to hear.
