Another HUGE part of my husband and I's lives, besides Adoption/Orphan Awareness is youth ministry, especially Jr. High ministry. That's actually how we met! We were both leaders, I worked for my church, and he worked for WyldLife, which is the Jr. High level of YoungLife. We were both Chaperoning a lock-in, and two days after that, we were dating! We both are still leaders for Wyldlife. We absolutely love getting to hang out with these kids, the the best part is getting to share Christ with them! Yes, I love getting to act crazy, forget how old I really am, laugh, listen to all their stories of who likes who and so on, but knowing that I might be the only person to tell them that Jesus loves them is an incredible feeling! (and also a very scary feeling at times too!) This has also been a wonderful way to pass the time of waiting until we get our referral! I'm just gonna take all that extra love that I've been saving up for our future kids and pass it on to these guys :)
