All Grown up




How does it happen so fast? My children and my friend's children have grown up so quickly. At the time, it seems like they'll never learn to do things for themselves, stop asking "why?" or "When do we get there?". Cigi Allen is my most recent realization of that fact--kids grown up. I watched her play basketball, and rope her heart out every weekend at wherever there was a rodeo. Roping was her love and she is good at it, but her passion is to change her world by showing kids how Jesus can change their lives. She is now full time youth pastor at Cowboy Junction church and has a huge group of teenagers who model their lives after hers. They'd follow her anywhere but more importantly, they follow Jesus, whether they're roping or playing sports, or whatever. They have a great example. One person CAN make a difference and change their world. Way to go Cigi!
