I just finished my first week as a project leader on Friday, and I am so blessed to be able to say that it was awesome! My journal had been riddled with feelings of inadequacy... feelings that culminated the minute the bus of kids arrived and I realized I had to step up. Turns out project leading is pretty straightforward... all you have to do is say "yes" to whatever the Lord asks. It certainly helped that I was blessed with (1) awesome teens who would do whatever was asked of them (whether it was me or the Lord doing the asking), (2) really awesome adults leaders who had a genuine love for their students and who also just happened to be really cool and (3) a youth pastor who knew his kids well and led them with humility and a servant's heart. I can't even begin to share all the ways that God used them, or all the ways that God stretched and used me.
So my song lyric for last week goes a little something like this...
"I hear the Savior say
thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Find in me thine all in all"
The phrase "child of weakness" describes me pretty well ... good thing that though the strong could be God's company, I'm the one he chose.
So now I am in Butler, PA. I spent my quiet time on Saturday morning next to the river, surrounded by a beautiful green landscape, which was a nice change from the concrete jungle of Philly. I am so blessed to see the ministry that God is doing here! There is a junior high group here right now, and they have been doing some of the most awesome ministry I have ever seen! They are eager to pray, bold in loving and desperate to worship.
So my song lyric for this week is...
"I see a generation rising up,
no longer accepting lies
As a band of worshippers runs to the battlefield
they're finding their lives"
Get excited for the work that God is doing in the coming generations, cuz it is awesome!
