Tonight we had All East Young Life and kicked off the semester trying to sell camp to our high school friends. AWESOME NIGHT! The east side of Knoxville Young Life is blessed this summer by having an unbelievable opportunity to take our kids to Frontier Ranch in Colorado. This trip usually goes to the west side and is $900, but with the grant we have been given, this trip is possible for my girls who only will have to pay $500. That is still a lot for them who have to raise every dollar, but the Lord will provide...He says so! Anyway, I want you to meet my friend Kym. She is a junior at Central High, and just recently let Jesus capture her heart with His love and peace. A little background on Kym...she is a sweet heart!, she will be graduating early next December, she has a handful of friends at school but also a handful of enemies, her dad has been diagnosed with a throat disease which hospitalizes him about every month, Kym is trying to find acceptance and peace and love from Jesus because she is realizing that He is about the only consistent thing in her life that won't turn away or let her down. The time I get to spend with this sweet girl is precious. She is real, and we get to talk about all the real things she is living through. This is very rare with high school girls. Jesus has definitely blessed me in those conversations. Tonight, I got to pick Kym up for a dinner date at Sonic and YL club. We were able to catch up and share with each other what has been going on in our lives and hearts lately...priceless! Tonight was a great night with Kym. My prayer for her is that she "may experience the love of Christ, thogh it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that come from God" (Ephesians 3:19). I pray that Kym's heart may overflow with the love of Christ and experience the real life that He wants to give her.
