Sharing the Gospel

This past six weeks I have also had the chance to progress in work outside of school. I am a leader for a Young Life Girl's Bible Study organization called Coffee Talk. We meet once a month and discuss relevant high school girl issues, ultimately bringing girls to the word of Christ and spreading the love and grace of Jesus. As I have been involved in this group over the past four years of high school, I have been blessed to have the opportunity to move into a leadership position in which I-and my partner- get to mentor over a small group of freshmen girls. We meet them, love on them, pray for them, and pour into them as much as we can. We get to give them advice over high school and be there for whatever they need. This month was the kickoff and we had our first meeting that went better than I could have ever imagined. I now have met the girls that I feel have been chosen to be in my group for a specific reason only God  knows and has planned. This privilege is important to me, for I get the chance to mentor girls inside and outside of school and teaches me responsibility, commitment, and accountability to pursue the Lord and His path for me.

Obsession Essay

This past week, I wrote my first Dual Credit Essay in which was a reflection over our Unit 1 topic-Obsession. We-as human beings- are all obsessed with different types of things whether it is a physical product or specific activity, routine, etc. Our assignment was broad-we simply had to write a 2 page paper over something that we are obsessed with. It was free range, being anything and everything our unique selves enjoy on a daily basis. For me, country music was the first thing that popped into my head when brainstorming. Writing this essay came easy for me, and I enjoyed writing about something I am so passionate about. In my essay I explained my personal encounter with country music from the beginning of my obsession and how it has transgressed to now. I think this piece not only reflects my strength of writing a personal narrative, but also is a clear insight to a part of my life that I've never had the chance to write down my feelings towards. Country music is a big part of who I am, who my family is, and what I know will never change about my personality. It is my escape, my strength and weakness, and the thing in life that I could not live without.
