Most people know that 18 months ago, the Lord nudged me in the direction of working with teens. Ok, I’m kidding. He shoved me into the world of teenagers and my life hasn’t been the same yet.

Prior to July 2007, I wasn’t sure what my purpose was. Yes, I was a career woman. Yes, I was a mother. But none of those things seemed to be my calling. (Yes, I know the Lord called me to be a mother, that’s why I have children, but I was, and still am, to a point, struggling to see that.)

But not when it comes to working with the youth group at my church.

There is no doubt in my mind that I am supposed to be working with them and the Lord made that VERY clear December 30, 2007 when He told me to get rid of all the extras and focus on youth ministry.

And now there’s a way that you can share your story with a broader audience with the help of Frito-Lay. Frito-Lay’s TrueNorth™ brand of nut snacks is built on a core belief that we all have inspirational stories to share and to celebrate, and they are dedicating themselves to using that brand to discover, document and share those stories with the world.

TrueNorth is inviting people to submit a story that describes how they (or someone they know) are pursuing his or her life’s passion. One story (and it could be yours!) will be chosen to share with the world in the form of a 60-second commercial aired during the 81st Annual Academy Awards® broadcast on February 22, 2009. The inspirational spot will be directed by Oscar®-winning actress Helen Hunt and the winner will receive $25,000 to help in the pursuit of his or her passion.

Do you know what I could do with $25,000 for my youth group?

There are 15 days left to submit your story and you can find all the details and how to submit your story at True North Snacks.

We all have one.

What’s your True North Story?

Until next time…
