tonight we had club. lately, our clubs have been kind of sad to me. there have been less and less people coming each week; spring sports is really taking a toll on our numbers. also, i feel like us campaigner kids are having trouble bringing our friends to club. i know we're doing a good job loving on them, but it just feels like something is missing.
megan gave her first club talk ever. it was awesome. i'm so proud of her. i knew she was really nervous from talking to her before club when i got there to help get stuff ready. she seemed a little freaked out. i had been praying for her since thursday when she told me she was giving the talk. i was so excited to hear her, and she did awesome. club this week actually turned out really awesome, despite my expectations. i saw a new girl there, she was in my yearbook class earlier in the year (she dropped) so i knew her a little bit. she was with one of her freshman friends that i didn't know so i went and introduced myself and sat with them. i just love having the opportunity to love on these girls. i'm gonna miss it when i leave for school in the fall.
i think that this club was easily one of the best clubs we've had all year. meg's talk rocked, it was so profound. she shared some of her story, and related it to an awesome story from the bible. i saw two girls crying after club because it hit them so hard. so awesome to see that, really. that's why i do this. why i work so hard with younglife stuff. not because i'm a younglifer. because i found life at younglife camp, i found relationships that will last a lifetime. i do it because i love seeing people listen to the same message that i heard, and respond to it in their own way. the lord was really moving in that room tonight, and i couldnt have been more proud to be a part of it.
