My Joshua Stone...

Well, I returned yesterday from my youth group's fall kick-off. It was amazing. Dare I say it, it's not so terrible being a senior in the group...It might actually be o.k. *Gasp!* I like having the little kids look up to me- not that I'm anything to look up to. I told goofy stories to the girls at night, and enjoyed hearing them laugh at the stories. The boys heard about the stories which lead one of them to loudly proclaim "I wish I was a girl so I could hear Emily's stories!" The male leaders shooshed him in a hurry. I laughed.
It seems like the leaders treat me more like an equal..less like a youth to be bossed around. It's a very odd feeling. These people who I have looked up to for the last 2 years now seem to see me on thier level. And it's not such a bad thing. Maybe the best years aren't gone...maybe they are just beginning. Hmmm

More about this weekend to come- Emily
