Being a freshman, I have been trying to decide where I want to get involved on the campus, whether it was through FCA or through YoungLife. I thought YoungLife at the beginning of the year, but then I shut out God and decided that I didn't want such a huge time commitment as YoungLife was and shut that door. Over Christmas break, I was constantly praying for God to tell me what he wanted me to do with my life! Over Christmas break it was very clear that God wanted me to open the door back to YoungLife. I also knew that he wanted me to be involved with the middle school kids which is called WyldLife. My senior year of high school, I decided to start a 6th grade girls lunch. Once a month after church, we would get together and go eat lunch downtown and just form wonderful relationships! I came to Clemson, truly missing every single one of those precious girls. I knew right then thinking about them, that if I decided to do YoungLife I would do WyldLife because I could have such a strong impact of the lives of middle school girls. I came back to school and went to the first week of training and it was beyond incredible the excitement and thrill that I had after that night! I knew that it was exactly where I belonged and that nothing was going to change that. A week after break, we went to Sharptop Cove and I got to serve as a cook for the Tri-County region YoungLife and that experience was beyond incredible! That weekend seems like just yesterday but it was over a month ago that we got to serve hundreds of high schoolers. We now only have 3 weeks left until interviews and I am beyond excited to know that this is what God has called me to do with my life! God has been doing some crazy things in my life, the past couple of months and he has been pulling me out of my comfort zone in ways I could have never possibly imagined! Through this whole experience I have been challenged to give FULL obedience over to Him and to just have an overflowing amount of passion and love for Him so that I can share it with everyone that is around me! I know that by doing that, everything in my life will go just the way that He planned which is possibly one of the most reassuring things that anyone could ever tell me!
