Our first club is less than a week away. I cannot believe it. But I'm so ready for it. I'm ready to see all of our kids gathered at one place and time to be together, I'm ready to meet their friends that they want to be a part of what's going on, I'm ready to see how God leads my team this year, and I'm excited for who He wants to bring to the table with us.
On that note, this last week I found out that I really only have 4 leaders that are fully committed. 2 of my leaders are having a baby in October and have other commitments on Monday nights... So we are in prayer about other adults in the community joining in the work that God is doing at the high school in East Peoria.
The coolest thing happened yesterday though. My dad and I had a conversation about my need for leaders and I expressed to him my anxieties of having such a small team. Yesterday I'm sitting at my table working on a few things and my dad calls me. He is telling me about this 'kid' (he's 21) that has been working for him on his job the last couple of weeks. Well yesterday he had to lay him off because they didn't need the extra help anymore. As the guy was pulling away, something hit my dad (it was definitely God I think) my dad stopped him and told him about YL in EP and asked if he would be interested in meeting with me about some leadership opportunities. And Mike was excited about it. So I met him out at my parents house yesterday and told him about what we are doing, and just like that we are meeting on Saturday to go through the pillars of YL and he will be observing our club on Monday.
God is so good! I'm really excited about this, and I hope that Mike is an answer to prayer (as well as a few others.)
Things like this remind me of the faithfulness of God and the power of prayer.
Thanks for your support!!
