In hot pursuit

So what does this picture have to do w/ hot pursuit? Not a whole lot but I thought it was a pretty funny picture from camp last summer and Blog's are more interesting w/ pics right?

So it's been over a month since the last blog and for my newbies leaders checking out the blog for the first time , welcome and know that you can not only read stories/ inspiration that I post but you along w/ other leaders can post your on stories and lessons learned and such on this Blog along w/ having access to our Gmail Calendar of events and our ongoing tally of kids met this year (our goal is 200).

So back to the hot pursuit. Isn't it funny how God pursues us? I mean if we think back on our lives all the places God has met us , especially the times when we weren't really looking for him but he found us? He just has this uncanny way of showing up at times when we need him the most in places we'd least expect to find him.

Ok so what that has to do with Young Life is that just a few moments ago I was about to walk into the Starbucks near Wilson to get some work done pre- Contact Work and I was thinking about this kid Nick Hakim.
For those of you who weren't there when all the girls at Campaigners freaked out, Nick Hakim they say is the best looking guy at Wilson and even the possibility that he would be joining us at Winter Camp put them in a frenzy.

The funny thing is before I knew how "cool" he was I had no problem talking to him and asking him to come to camp but after I saw how crazy they all went I started second guessing myself, like maybe he really doesn't want to camp and don't get your hopes up cause he probably doesn't want to come etc.

So like I was saying I was walking into Sbux and I was thinking about Nick and that I should get in touch with him and wondering if there was any possibility he would come and how crazy it would be if he did.

So I'm waiting in line for my fruffy Coffee drink when yep you guessed it Nick Hakim walks up and the first words out of his mouth are, " Hey man we still on for the trip on the 30th? "
We talked for a bit and after wards (right now as I'm typing this actually) I thought to myself man God is crazy.

I mean crazy the way he pursues us that at just the right time when I happened to think about Nick he comes walking out. At just the moment when I started to doubt God showed!

The moral of the story is don't sell God short, never think any kid is too cool for God.
He / she might be too cool for you (hehe) but no one is too cool for God so just trust and beleive that we all need him and will be drawn to him.
