Awesomeness Takes the Stage // Chelsea
I always joke that Chelsea is my Selah all grown up! They are very similar...sweetness and shining smiles being strong suits! In her second summer with us, Chelsea:

// consistently offers a contagious smile to everyone //
// isn't afraid to hold a hand and plunge into life with others //
// is on the brink of a teaching career //
// graces the stage with the Bros on Ice band //
// clings to Jesus while embracing her life adventure (with a smile) //
// connects intentionally with people regularly :: inspiring //
// refreshes those she spends any amount of time with //
Cassi: What is your favorite verse?
Chelsea: Well, I go in phases, but right now it's Ephesians 6:19-21 "Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should."
Cassi: Why did you want to be a guide this summer?
Chelsea: I really felt like God used me a lot last summer and when I had the chance to do it this summer too, I was like yes, I want to be used again!
Cassi: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Chelsea: (squinting her eyes in happiness like she always does) A TEACHerrr!
Cassi: Is there anything the WM friends can be praying for you about?
Chelsea: that I continue to make God my #1 priority so I can glorify God in all I do, especially this next semester with all the busyness and all.
If anyone has a tenderness to God's Spirit, it's Chelsea Starr! She takes seriously her call as a Christian to disciple and battle in prayer for many who are in need of God's miracle working power! She dedicates mass amounts of energy and time and heart pouring into others, offering wisdom or simply a listening ear! She's also very accident prone which makes me laugh (in a loving way!)...so much like my Selah! Truly, I haven't met anyone that doesn't like to be with her! She's the refreshment I believe God wants us all to offer to those in our world! I'm encouraged and inspired by this girl!
May we be intentional to give off the aroma joy to someone today! Everyday life can really stink!
