Starting off the year with KIDS DAY!

Wow, I've been a very delinquent blogger, but it's not for lack of being REALLY busy!  And I'm so happy to be REALLY busy because I'm really busy spending time with kids and it's what I love to do :)  We had our first Wyldlife of the school year on KIDS DAY a little over a week ago.  It's a national holiday here in Costa Rica and it's so awesome to see the whole country come together to promote the well-being of our future--kids!

One of the things I love the most about Young Life and Wyldlife is that we are all about kids being kids.  In this day when kids are asked to grow up WAY too fast--exposed to so many things WAY too early--and have seemingly forgotten how to just play, YL and WL are there to remind them that it's great being a kid.  In fact, it's CHILD-like faith that Jesus asks of us.  And how sweet is it to be able to provide a space where kids can just be kids and learn about what's really important in life.

Here are some pictures from our Wyldlife SNOWSTORM, yes it did snow in Costa Rica--it's snowed flour bombs, marshmallows, and shaving cream!  What fun!  And Jessie topped the night off with an introduction to what Wyldlife is and how God wants to fill us with abundant, overflowing life!
