Young Life- God is moving!
I promised to write about Young Life and I have not had the time I wanted to dedicate to this post. Being that it is Friday afternoon at the end of a long week, I am excited to sit down and share with you what the Lord is doing in Young Life at Parkside High.

The girl with the brown hair is Meghan and I have been meeting her for breakfast every Friday morning. She is a great girl that really takes God seriously and desires to have a relationship with Him. She sees the difference between Young Life and her Catholic church but it is still hard for her to make a connection that Christ wants to come into her life and have a personal relationship with her. The girl next to her is Blair and she came to breakfast this morning. She goes to Bennett and did all of the extracurriculars I did- so it is easy to talk to her. She sings in Concert Choir and Rock and Roll Revival-so conversation is fun! I am excited to get to know her better!
Like I was saying before, God is adding numbers to our club, every week. In Young Life leadership we have been studying Acts 2:42-47. This passage shows what the early church looked like and how they met together fellowship daily. Our prayer for this semester was that we look more like the early church and that the Lord would "add to [our] number daily those who [are] being saved." That is what the Lord is doing. The kids just keep coming back for more. Bryan and I are each doing a guy and girls breakfast Bible Study. We are committing to the ministry and devoting our time and the Lord is faithful.
I ask that you pray with us for our highschool friends- that they would know the Lord deeply and intimately and that we are able to openly share Christ's love with them. We pray that the Lord would continue bringing Parkside and Bennett kids to our club that they can hear the Word. The Parkside team is made up of me, Bryan, Erin, and Reid and because Bennett doesn't have YL, they come to our club. I just pray that as we share our lives with the kids, they would see Christ in everything we do.
I think that is enough writing for now! But here are a few more pictures:
This is Karly- She is one of our campaigners. She is fearless and full of life! She came to camp with us and I got a chance to pray with her and really hear her heart. I wish there were more moments like that in Young Life. They are few and far between but so sweet when you get that chance to sit down and you just get to listen.
This game was hilarious! Each person got a chocolate covered apple and had to eat as much as they could in 30 seconds. We were surprised by how long Gary lasted considering his was a raw onion!!! He is such a good sport and highly competitive so he gets picked a lot to do stuff where trick him! This is Megan on the left- she is a leader at WiHi and Carin who is in leadership and a freshmen at Salisbury University. We are excited for when she gets put onto a team!
These are the highschoolers who went to camp with us. We had a great time- although I have never been more tired in my life!
OK- this was extremely long but maybe you had some free time to read today and if you think of it, pray for Young Life Salisbury!

Yeh, God!
We love YL and will be praying.
A raw onion...seriously?!
I'm so proud of you both, and I really like keeping up to date on what is going on in your life via Blog.
