While in college, I dreamed of taking a spring break trip to Texas, but had no money. But then a man ran a red light and smashed my car, resulting in me receiving an unexpected check! 

I had a decision to make – Do I preserve the life of my car or, do I choose a week of adventure with my friends. Looking back, that car is long gone, but I cherish the memories made on that trip. 

Ecclesiastes 11:9 says, “You who are young, be happy while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth…but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.” 

Encourage young leaders to follow their heart but be mindful of God’s perspective and consequences.
