young life!!

i'm laying on a comfortable couch in the sharptop assigned team house with the k-state gamecast running, pretending to be a yl staff wife...life is pretty great! ricky's doing program with tim this weekend...tag team champs! they've been doing a great job!

it's kind of strange to come to a camp where i only know a hanful of people after our time at lost canyon and all my yl camping experiences in the past! at camp, i've become so used to being in a room full of people i know and love, maybe having to learn one or two names, but i've had to hand that role to ricky this weekend! it's strange to not know the young life community here, but i know that will soon be a thing of the past.

ricky and i have been hanging out with one of his former young life leaders, who is now the area director of cherokee county, which is the county we live in, and we're really thinking and praying about being volunteer leaders. there is just something about young life that we are just intrinsically drawn to (big word, right?)...i don't know of a better way to reach lost and hurting high school kids. it just looks like Jesus. and i don't know if i'll even be able to be involved in two similar ministries at the same time between my job and yl...or if i could do that with excellence, lots to think and pray about!

for now we're just ready for a break and SO pumped to come to kansas city for ricky's first bram fam thanksgiving!! can't wait to see y'all...i'll try to have an accent by tuesday night! and hunter wishes he could come!
