i’ve been seeing the working of God all around me this past month. He’s been moving through so many lives and completely changing them. i have never ever been so on fire for Him in my life and it feels so amazing! but i know that satan is really waiting to tear me down and all the kids that have been moved by the Holy Spirit. the thing i want to share is that we all need to “put...

lately, i find myself being very ambitious. there are so many goals i want to achieve and things i want to do this upcoming year. different opportunities have come up and have sparked the desire in me to just serve Christ. i have the desire to do a missions trip, don’t know where or when but soon. there’s a fire inside of me to go away and share the gospel, whether it’s being a...

this past weeks camping trip was amazing. it has brought me so much joy since i have been back. being able to share God’s word and see kids share and open up was so encouraging and makes me so thankful to be a part of Young Life. God is working around here and i can’t wait to see where he takes all of this.
