Galatians 1: 15~
"But when God who set me apart from birth and called me by His grace, was pleased to reveal His son to me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles."
This is my calling, this is my purpose. I was called and set apart to bring Him glory among the nations (and for the time being, Atlanta). What a honor and great joy. Satan tries to make me feel unholy and not important to the kingdom, but the victory has already been won because I have been declared since the foundations of the world as holy and set apart.
Young Life has been a tool the Lord has used for me to bring Him glory, and I love being there. I love being with kids, and I love the mission. While it might be challenging at times, I have been called there. And even though my world looks completely different than I ever thought it would look, I have hope because I know there is an eternal purpose for what the Lord is doing in my life.
