You Might Be A Young Life Leader If…

March 13, 2012

Last Wednesday night Cody Titus, aka @Codename_Titus, aka “the guy pictured in the afro,” aka a YL leader in Columbus, OH… tweeted…

“If half of your closet is from a thrift store, you might be a @YoungLifeLeader.

After a Retweet on Thursday morning, hundreds of hilarious”You might be a @YoungLifeLeaderif…” tweets started rollin’ in.

Wish I could’ve copied and pasted them all below, but here are some funny ones that rang true with me. If yours got left off or if you didn’t get a chance to chime in on Twitter, please leave your…#YouMightBeAYoungLifeLeaderIf… statement in the comment section below.

Thanks to Cody and everyone else for making fun of yourselves.. and for mocking all of us Young Life leaders around the globe. Sometimes the truth hurts. Other times it makes you snort.
