Assignments are one of my most favorite things about being on Young Life staff. I get to spend a month on a little piece of heaven. I get to work side by side with high schoolers doing work crew as they learn to give their lives away, some for the first time. I get to be with staff from around the country as we make camp a great place where high school kids can come and experience the great love of Christ. What a privilege.
I also love assignments because my time with my Maker is so much sweeter. I rely on Him for my strength when the days are long and I don't feel like going anymore. Jesus also always has things to teach me during my month on assignment. This month I am definitely learning that He is all I need to sustain me. I couldn't stop my eyes from overflowing with tears during worship on Sunday as I prayed that I wouldn't just coast through this month. I prayed that I would actively pursue Christ, just as he pursues me. I prayed that I would find my identity and worth in Him and Him alone.
Promise to post more fun stories and pictures soon!
