A few nights ago was my last Cave Spring Young Life club as a student. It was filled with many mixed emotions, and shared with some of my best friends. Like is tradition, the seniors of the group were honored while at club. We picked and lead games, we picked what songs were played, we picked everything. The best part for us, is that 5 seniors were picked to get the privelage to share some of their lives with the people who were there. I won't put full names, but the five were Ryan, Kendall, Me, Sarah, and Taylor. All 5 of us got an amazing privelage to share about our lives before we accepted Jesus, why we picked Jesus, our lives since we accepted Jesus, and what would we say if we could speak to our freshman selves.
Having been on work crew with some of the greates people I know, the first and third questions were just lilke when you were telling your story to a cabin of total strangers, or if you were sharing it with your friends you were there with. So those I didn't have to really think about. It was easier for those because I wasn't talking to strangers. I was talking to my friends. The second question was thought provoking, and it took me some time to be able to really think of what I would say. Why I picked Jesus wasn't something you could just wing it and say. It had to be real, and intentional. The last question was the hardest. The only thing that made it easier, is the fact that I spend a lot of time with freshman, and I figured I'd just tell myself what I would tell them assuming they didn't know Jesus.
Getting to share was an absolute blessing, and it really excited me.about getting to go out and lead at Liberty, and whatever high school or middle school I get placed at. I honestly can not wait for this opportunity that is coming up. There are so many thoughts that I have going through my head about this. All of them are positive, and it is the best thing ever
I've had such a great opportunity to grow with the Cave Spring Young Life crew, and I've had the best chance to see Cave Spring change. I've seen the beginning of the new face of Cave Spring Young Life. Cave Spring is going to change so much in the coming years. I wish I was stickin' around to watch it happen. The Lord is taking me away from Roanoke Young Life, and as sad as that is, I couldn't be more excited. A fresh new chance to really grow with people from all over the place. I'm more excited now than I was before. I will miss being a part of this great community, but I know that going to Liberty will help me to expand that group of people I have community with. I know that I will be provided for, and nothing will make me forget that.
I hope that everything continues to work itself out.
Love y'all
TJ
