young life is my life

So this morning i actually woke up before noon (that is a big deal) and had coffee and doughnuts (things that are not organic -- also a big deal!) with Abingdon's Young Life Area Director, aka my friend Stacy Dooley. She's the jam. She's one of my peeps up here fo sho. My whole "summer of discernment" kick got me thinking that I really need someone older and smarter and cooler than me to help me grow in my faith and my walk with the Lord, so Stace Face is going to be my Summa 2K9 Life Coach and I'm really pumped about it. We're going to hang out a few times a week and study the Word and basically just figure out where I need to be more disciplined (everywhere!) in my walk, and fuel all that into being a rock star of a Young Life leader, which is really all I want in life.

I have a lot of goals for Byrnes Young Life in the fall. And I figured out that I've been all wrong with how I pray for my ministry with Young Life, I'm all "Hey God, this is really not what I'm used to, and I need you to be a magician and fix things." and it SHOULD be "Lord, I really want to see you move here" and I so do. Young Life has been my biggest challenge at Wofford (I thought it was Botany, but it turns out that I actually did better this semester than last semester) and I really want to step it up. Kyle will be abroad and I really feel like initiative is what's going to hold Byrnes together as a team. Stacy actually challenged me a ton with my attitude with YL in Spartanburg and I really want to focus on how I can change that and glorify God more with my ministry. Because that's all I really care about, with being a Bio major and with being a Young Life leader and with living my life. Because my life wouldn't be my life without Biology and it wouldn't be my life without Young Life. I need both, but I need God more.

Let's see...I've been watching a lot of movies about weddings. Because it's June, and it's wedding seasons, and I am really good at being a wedding guest. And a wedding reception guest. I have to miss a wedding when I'm in Colorado, sad day except not really.

Good news: Smudge has slept 40 out of the last 48 hours.
