KaLee is in the 10th grade. She is the most serious-minded young Christian woman I think I've ever met. Deeply committed to faith and growth, she is eager to absorb everything I can give her.
Talk about fear and trembling... that's what I have when I consider it!
Here's how it came about: A few months ago, I was chatting with our youth minister, Lisa. She had been asking for some more people to become involved in youth leadership, and had spoken to me specifically. I knew I was WAY too busy with the worship ministry already, and told her so, but I did say that I could probably spare an hour once a week as part of her mentor program, since I'm already in Norwalk many nights anyway. I wanted to contribute to the youth ministry, especially since I'm in SoulFire, but that's about as far as I could take it.
A few weeks later, she approached me with the idea of mentoring KaLee. I felt rather humbled!
I get together with KaLee on Monday evenings at a little coffee shop in Norwalk and talk Scripture and life. It's a really pleasant time and has been a tremendous encouragement to me; she's always so enthusiastic about it. I admit that I would find it somewhat difficult to keep up if she were a typical disinterested teenager.
Anyway, I just thought you'd be interested to meet her. She's terrific.
