Today was another awesome day! During our evening worship, the band plays some great worship music before our speaker comes out. The first night, none of our group felt comfortable going up front to sing and worship with the band. The second night, a few went up there. Tonight, I saw them go up front, raise their voices in praise, and raise their hands feeling God through them. It was so awesome to see God working in them today and to continually watch them let go of their insecurities and fears- to just let go and let God.
Tonight, at the end of the evening, we had our candle time with everyone sharing their prayer concerns. Again, the first night, several passed. By tonight, they all shared their concerns, trusting each other and God to give their cares to Him. Afterwards, the other leader asked the group to gather around me. They prayed for me- for strength and wisdom and for God's words to come when I need them on Wednesday. Wednesday, I'm leading a learning lab about calling to ministry. It's not something I've really done before and it's a big subject that I want to make sure isn't taken lightly. For that reason, I've been thinking about it a lot. But, after having my group lift up prayers for me, I felt any anxiety vanish. God is going to take care of everything.
After everyone went to bed, the 3 adults here stayed up to chat about the day, the week. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by others who have such a great heart for teens and youth ministry- trusting in God to lead them. We had great conversation and I hated to finally end it around 2am.
So, where was God today? He was in our group- leading our youth to listen and act- to be disciples for Him.
Blessings,
Jennifer
