Homegirl.

Meet: two of the goofiest girls ever. Actually, I lied. Let me rephrase that... Meet: the goofiest girl you will ever meet, my co-leader, Megan. I met Megan during our first year Bible study, but didn't really get to know her until I joined leadership last semester and let me tell you, this girl is freaking hilarious. Everything that comes out of this girl's mouth is so freaking hysterical (you know, the doubled over because your stomach hurts so much from laughing and in tears kind of funny) and kind of outlandish. She needs a standup comedy show or a reality TV show. I wish I could follow her around alldayeveryday or just be able to jump in her head to hear her thoughts. One time, she fell off her chair in lab in front of everyone and the first thing that came to her mind to say to everyone when she got back up was, "I took five naps yesterday so I don't know why I just fell".... um, what?! Hahaha. I've been told on multiple occasions that Megan and I just need to travel and do program together at camp because the way we interact is apparently really comical. I don't know what it is about Megan, but when we're together a whole different side of me comes out. A goofier, unreserved, quirky, vulnerable side of me, which is a side of me that I don't let many people see. Maybe it's because she's not afraid to put herself out there, she's not afraid to take risks, and she's able to make a fool out of herself in the name of Jesus. That's the side of me that comes out when I'm around her and I just love that I love being on College Life leadership with her! She brings so, so, so much creativity to the group! Club would not be the same without her. She comes up with the most creative and original skits and games, and executes them with perfection. She knows how to draw the room together at club and knows how to get everyone so excited about the silly games we're playing. Along with being in funny skits and leading club with Megan, I'm also leading Campaginers with her and one of our other co-leaders. What a joy that has been!! Megan is so full of knowledge and wisdom (more than you know gfriend!) that I wish I had. She has so much more figured out than me about what it means to be walking with Jesus every single day. And she has a transparency & vulnerability about her that allows others to feel so comfortable about sharing whatever is going on in their lives. I love that about her! She's not afraid to put herself out there in front of people and is not afraid of being wrong when she does. So many times I hold back from sharing my thoughts on life and being in relationship with the Lord because I'm so afraid that I will sound dumb or that no one will be able to relate to what I'm saying, but Megan is not afraid of that. That boldness in her is something I admire and I know the Lord is using Megan to help me recognize that boldness in myself. The thing that I admire most about Megan is that her love for the Lord and others is so easily recognizable in her everyday life. Her love for the Lord and passion for ministry is so evident in her life. You can tell by how excited she gets when we plan Club and talk about YL just how much she wants to meet people where they are, and wants to share with them the greatest news of all: that they are loved unconditionally and infinitely by the God of the universe. She is always giving thanks and pointing to the One who deserves the praise in every situation in her life. Homegirl is the least selfish person I know and would do just about anything for her friends. She challenges me to seek the Lord more and more each day and reminds me by her actions & words to love others just as Jesus does. She has one of the biggest and most beautiful hearts I know. You are loved by not only myself and so many other people, but most importantly you are loved unconditionally by the Lord. I'm glad we're part of this ministry together and can't wait to see how the Lord uses us (well, we know you'll be the future area director ha) in High Point. Marinade in that!
