Last youth group for a while. Hmm. It was very impacting and emotional. We did a line challenge where you cross the line if you fit into the description of what was said. Those who don't cross throw markers into the middle to show they care.
It was so incredible and heart-breaking to see these young adults cross the line over and over. To see the markers being thrown to the middle with soft music and dim lights just taking it all in. Looking at your fellow friends and seeing the pain in their faces, in the tears that ran down their cheeks, seeing the love that was spread with hugs, a hand that would rub another's back for support, to see these people break down those walls and become one with the love of God.
My heart went out to everyone tonight. My heart hurt for everyone. If I had all the markers in the world they would all be laying in the middle of the 2 lines for these people. They are worth fighting for, they are loved unconditionally with any flaws they feel they have, they are beautiful people, they have a heart for Christ. It hurts to see them look at themselves and not feel good enough: mind, body, and soul. It hurts to see that they feel they are not loved, that they don't have what it takes to be worth fighting for.
Pray for these youth and adults.

Wrapping Up only to open anew.
My internship is almost officially wrapped up, just a few more events that I am involved with. One I am very blessed and excited to be working with my brother and his youth group. However, new adventures are to come and I greatly look forward to the experiences. I plan on taking some time to travel and then I'll be starting my new job until April.
Just want to send a thank you to my family and friends for the support you have given me, I have thanked some of you personally and want to re-emphasize how blessed I am to have you in my life.
It's a road that must be traveled no matter how many bumps, cracks, or hills we hit but in the end we have the happiness of knowing that we didn't go it alone.
