Youth Street

It was a great weekend; we had Youth Street on Saturday, then a party for the girls at our house on Sunday. It's so awesome to see relationships being made and kids changing at Youth Street. I know that God has sent me here for a reason; and I found one of those reasons on Saturday.

There is this kid named Daniel aka MC Venom, and he is very much into rapping. He had been coming to YS for a while, then stopped coming. One of the leaders was praying Saturday that he would come this time, and right after he was done praying another leader received a text from Daniel saying that he was coming this week! I had informed one of the leaders that I used to rap when I was in high school, so if Daniel did show up I could relate to him easily. Boy was I in for a surprise. They asked me if I would be willing to have a rap battle with MC Venom and I accepted. He won the rap battle (I'm a bit rusty to say the least), but afterwards he just looked so happy. I could see the light in his eyes, it was awesome! I told him that we have to have a rematch next week, and he said he would definitely show up.

If I can leave this place with a positive impact on this kid's life, that will be enough for me. I love making an impact :)
