LEAP Update Part 2

I was going to mention this in my first post, but I forgot.  A couple months before school let out, I was in the Russell Prayer Room and two people from House Church (not officially a part of UGA’s Wesley Foundation, but the majority of people involved are in Freshley/Wesley) walked up to me and prophesied over me.  (They didn’t say they were prophesying, but it was encouragement, which is prophecy.)  They both talked to me separately without any communication between them, neither of them had ever met me before, and both of them said the same thing: I seem like someone who should be a teacher.  Up until I talked with them, neither one of them had ever heard me speak, and I really doubt they’d seen my blog or heard anything about me from our mutual friends; yet, they both thought that I should be a teacher, specifically in Christian matters.  They suggested that I be a small group leader or maybe go on to be a preacher at some point.  When I thought of being a Christian teacher, the teaching position that seemed to fit me the most was the job of being a missionary.  But they insisted that being a small group leader would be a start on that road.  Well, at that point, I had already made up my mind to be a Freshley prayer leader rather than a Freshley small group leader, and I was sure that God had called me to that decision, so I was a little hesitant to make any changes.  But then they clarified by saying that they actually meant that I should be a small group leader at my church, not Freshley (although Freshley wasn’t completely ruled out).  I thought about it for a minute, and when I thought of being a church small group leader, I thought of Mr. Kyle Smith, my freshman and sophomore year small group leader at Northstar.  I couldn’t picture myself being a Northstar small group leader.  Then I thought of TNT, my high school youth group (junior and senior year), and came to the conclusion that being a small group leader there would be a much more plausible option for me.  Well… guess what?  I was a LEAP small group leader at Northstar for middle schoolers and high schoolers all this week.  Prophecy fulfilled.  And there’s still much more to come.

So… yeah.  Here are some pictures from this week.
