Youth For Christ

I have prayed my way into being a Mentor Mom for the Teen Pregnancy program for Youth For Christ.

It means that I would help a young mom - ages 13-21 (give or take) get to the meetings. I also help support her in stressful new mommy situations. I can also encourage her spiritually.  Mostly, I am just her friend and someone to talk to.

These young ladies typically do not have good relationships at home, that's where YFC comes into play.

Prayerfully, I will meet up with "my girl" tonight and we can start working on a friendship.  I'm anxious-excited. Kind of like being the new kid on the block again!

Regardless, I have prayed for the young ladies that I could possibly be matched up with. So, even if I am not a good match for them, the good Lord already has a match for them.

*** UPDATE:  I am back from the meeting. I have to admit that it isn't what I thought it would be. It was not what I expected.  It seems that all of the girls have a support system already in place; some are married; some have more than one child and they planned for that; only a tiny handful of them needed a ride.

My girls - one probably won't come back. Her child is at an age where it didn't work out for him. Poor little sweetie.  The other girl liked it and may want to go back, but she has a really good support system - she really only needs me for the ride. Which is alright, I can still do that for her and be her friend.
