So many times I have been tempted to look at my circumstances and think about how lonely or bad they were. I often wish that I was invited to do stuff on Friday nights..but last night I realized it’s not about me and what I want to do. I am helping with the junior high girls club this year, and it has been a blast. One of their moms asked me to go trick-or-treating with her daughter and some friends. I said yes, but at first I thought, I’d rather go hang out with friend’s my age..but I had so much fun with them!! We laughed as we went from house to house..and I think they enjoyed laughing at my screams..one guy scared me so bad! It was so much fun, they all had ideas on who I should like, and what we should do. I can’t remember very many other times when I have enjoyed myself so much. We finished up and deaded back to her house..and they all wanted me to spend the night. While I didn’t stay, I realized how much these girls looked up to me. A bunch of junior highers wanted a junior to spend the night. I realized that I had not only had a blast, but had poured into those girls lives..and that’s something that can’t be replaced. As I drove home, I thanked God for giving me this opportunity, and realized that life can be so much fun if you reach out.
