Ok, ok…I know what you’re thinking.
She’s a teenager. This isn’t exactly earth-shattering news.
However, what might surprise you is that she and a friend hosted a sleepover for the 9th grade girls in the youth group.
Yep.
Chicky thought of this all on her own.
Our church’s youth minister picks up middle schoolers from school on Wednesday afternoons and takes them back to the church, where they get to spend a couple of extra hours socializing…playing games and talking it up before the regular youth group activities.
Last year, Chicky mentored a group of eighth grade girls, and she moved up with them this year.
Chicky and her friend took the girls to a hibatchi restaurant. Afterward, they went back to Chicky’s friend’s house for a fun evening.
The neat thing about this is that it wasn’t an even sponsored by the church.
In fact, this was Chicky’s first free weekend in a month, and she’ll be busy every weekend for the next several weeks.
Chicky met me at church this morning, and I’m telling you…she had a glow on her face.
Maybe it was just me, or maybe it’s the fact that she’s growing up.
Or, it could just be that God is using her…growing her as she serves Him.
Pretty cool, don’t ‘ya think?
