Y'all, the last two weeks have been insane! I am officially allowed to say Brandon applied for a job doing ministry with Young Life in Colorado. I had prayed and prayed for boldness for both of us--God calls some to stay and he calls some to leave and spread his great news (and I have felt called to leave for a long while now). So, anyways, He reached us. With this boldness, we decided that God was definitely calling us to do greater things--to leave, or at least to be bold enough to. And, long story short, we found ourselves flying out to Colorado Springs for an interview last Thursday.
Guys, this was like a dream to me. Every person (the regional director, area director, committee members, wives, husbands, etc.) we met just had this love for God that could not be mistaken, you could feel the desperate need for God in those high school and middle school kids' lives, and you could feel His hand in every situation we were placed in. It didn't take long for us feel our hearts being tugged for those kids. Hearing some stories, I want to show those kids Jesus--my heart literally yearns for it. I can't tell you the exact moment it happened, but everything suddenly went from 'Oh, this place is beautiful... I HAVE to live here!!' to 'I choose Jesus. I choose to show Him to everyone he wants me to. I yearn to be exactly where he chooses.' My heart literally hasn't stopped breaking for those kids since we heard stories of their lives. How crazy is that?!
While we're still not certain as to whether or not Brandon has the job, I am still so excited for those kids to meet Jesus--to know that they are loved so deeply that it's uncomprehendable. My heart wants this move. Brandon's heart wants this move. It's literally all up to God now (not that it wasn't before). It's extremely comforting knowing that we have done exactly what we feel God has called us to do, and now, we have to wait to see where he is leading us next. The mystery of my life is certainly bittersweet, but I am so thankful it has been mapped out by Christ, not by me. He's seriously awesome all of the time.
