Today was an exciting day! It started with church this morning. One of the girls from my day camp job came to church this morning. She had come with her mom a long time ago, but they hadn't been in over a year. I've been talking to her mom for awhile now and last Friday her mom said they would be there. Of course, sometimes it takes a few times of saying that before they actually come. So, I was really excited when they walked in this morning. She was happy to see me and another worker from the camp was there, too. So, that made it even more comfortable for her to be there.
After church I chatted with a youth who has yet to come to youth group. He's a grandson of a regular church goer and it would be great for him to come. So, I invited him to come tonight. Who can resist 3 hours of water games? He said he might, but I wasn't sure he'd come. So, I was really excited when he showed up right on time! At the end of the night, I asked him if he had fun and he excitedly told me he did.
The 3rd was another new youth group member that came to help with VBS this week and then came to youth group tonight. I don't think he'd ever been to church before a few months ago when he came to a youth group Superbowl party. Since then, he may have come once or twice. But, it seems he's decided to be more consistent in coming. It may be because it's the best way to spend time with his girlfriend. But, I believe there's more to his presence than that.
It was great to see 3 new people participating in activities at the church.
So, where was God today? I saw Him not just in the new people who came, but also in those around them. The new people at youth group were picked during the games, treated as if they'd been there forever, and welcomed into the group.
Blessings,
Jennifer
