Summary

SummaryπŸ† I thought winning the state soccer championship would bring me lasting happiness. My brother and I led the team to victory, but afterward, I felt empty inside. That summer, I lost my friend Blake, and it shook me deeply. When I went to Young Life’s camp in Colorado, I experienced God’s love for the first timeβ€”under the stars, I knew Jesus was my Savior. That moment changed everything 🌌. I returned home filled with joy and told everyone. I even brought others to experience that same hope, including my brother. Now, I live seeing God’s love through others and reflecting it myself πŸ’«. God's presence is greater than any worldly success πŸ•ŠοΈ.

What happens when we we work hard for something we want- something we think will make us happy, only to find that we still feel empty after we earn it? AJ’s high school soccer team had won the state championship, and AJ felt temporarily satisfied, but still unfulfilled. After losing a friend during the following summer, AJ decided to attend Young Life’s summer camp. While at camp, AJ experienced God’s love for the first time and began a journey of understanding that what God offers is so much greater than any temporary feeling of success we can find in our accomplishments.
