is this real (young) life?

I was a leader at my first Young Life club tonight.  Weird.
I've been going back and forth a lot recently thinking about whether or not this is really right for me.  If I am meant to be a Young Life leader at this point in my life.  If I honestly have the time to devote to this the way that I should.

Club was so great and such a crazy experience, but it was weird for me not being in the Sletten basement.  After club tonight, I feel like this is right.  I feel like God was trying to make me see that this was right all along, but it took family club number one tonight to really reassure me that this is right, this is good.  I know how much time management and effort I will need to put into my life so that there's time for Young Life, but after all of this, I am willing to do whatever it takes.  I'm signing my life away to Young Life, and I couldn't be happier about it.

Everything about family club tonight was great.  I loved club.  Even though it wasn't perfect and we didn't have 50 people there and I was sick, it was still great.  I don't even know all of the kids that were there, but I already love them.  I'm also completely obsessed with the Young Life Des Moines team.  Every single person there is so great and I am honored to be able to be a part of all of this and work with them.  I'm so thankful for the opportunity that we've had as a team to bring this idea to real life and show it to Des Moines.  I really hope that the parents and community, and most importantly the kids, support us and welcome us and embrace everything that Young Life is and can be.  I can't wait until next Monday for our second family club.  It's gonna be crazy.  And I'm crazy in love.
