The other night I helped out with a Youth For Christ high school scavenger hunt. I arrived at the house and got to see a lot of students I hadn't seen in a while. My heart was filled with joy as I saw many familiar faces and many new ones.
Jesus is surely at work within that ministry.
But I felt old. Here's why: As I was standing around talking to kids I noticed a girl walk in. Now there were lots of kids there, but this girl stuck out to me. She was tall and beautiful and I knew I knew her from somewhere.
As I stared at her trying to place her in my head, it clicked...
I used to babysit her and her brothers like 7 years ago when she was 7 years old...and now she's 14--and a freshmen in high school!
Wow. Time moves quickly...and in that moment I felt slightly old...just a tad bit.
