Wow. To say that 2009 has been a roller coaster ride would be a drastic understatement. What a crazy / chaotic / rewarding/ trying year! And though it’s always fun to look ahead to the fresh starts and unfulfilled dreams of what has yet to come… I’d say it’s rather vital to look back and reflect on what’s already happened. There we learn from our mistakes, seek inspiration for future endeavors or, perhaps most importantly, gain perspective on what matters to you most.
In the case of 2009, reflection takes me to innumerable places. Though, for the sake of brevity, I wanted to focus on just one today. Relationships. I’m forever grateful for the family and friends that surround and support me through my crazy, adventurous life! One part of that fellowship includes my wonderful friends at Young Life of Fayette County. I think it’s safe to say that Young Life has weaved its way into just about most arenas of my life! It’s grown my faith, introduced me to my closest friends… and heck, it even got me a smokin’ wife! For those of you who aren’t familiar with Young Life, it’s a non-denominational Christian ministry that reaches out to adolescents through volunteers, staff, club meetings, and camps by building meaningful relationships with teenagers and sharing the love of Jesus Christ! If you’re interested in finding out if you have a program in your area, check the previous link to find out.
All that to say, I’ve been blessed to be surrounded by a wonderful group of people around the community that help, support and love on each other… all while on a mission for the teenagers of Fayette County. Here’s a quick snapshot of the volunteer leaders that were able to make it to our Christmas party!
