I realized that I forgot to post after Young Lives on Tuesday. Tuesday was "Spa Club". There were stations set up all around the room where girls could get manicures, pedicures, facials, massages, etc. They were all so into it, it was amazing!
After about an hour of spa treatments, we had club. I thought my talk went pretty well...I wasn't as nervous as I thought I might be! The girls are all really nice and make a pretty easy audience. After my talk we had a few questions to answer in groups. I was really glad that the girls seemed to really track with the talk and understand the questions. I am hoping that I will do even better the next time I get to give a talk!
My favorite part about Young Lives is talking to the girls and getting to hear their stories. Some of the obstacles these girls have to overcome are huge...not to mention having kids! When we went around to share prayer requests I heard some crazy stuff...baby's daddies in jail, moms on drugs, getting evicted and forced to live on the streets, miscarriages...all sorts of crazy stuff. Although they may have a lot going on in their lives, one thing I know for sure is that all these girls love their kids. It will be amazing to see the way God can work in their lives, and exciting to think that Young Lives and knowing the Lord could impact their families for generations to come.
