For just over a year now I've had the awesome privilege of leading Wyldlife at one of the local middle schools. Coming into it initially I was nervous, middle school girls can be viciously mean and I didn't want to rub any of them the wrong way. For most of that first semester I stood in the shadows of the other leaders and didn't really make any connections with the girls.
Then there was camp, its advertised as the best week of the campers life, but it also ends up being the best week of the leader's life too (at least it was for me). I got to spend an entire week just hanging out with these awesome 7th graders (now rad 8th graders!) and share with them about how awesome Jesus is. These girls are amazing and I don't know what I'd do with out them. During and since that week they have challenged me, pushed me out of my comfort zone, kept me grounded, and given me a reason to live out what a teach because they catch my ever mistake.
So to all my Wyldlife girls: you are awesome, I love you, and you will never ever know how much you have done for me. I will be eternally grateful (:
xoxo,
Abby just Abby
