Journeys

Tonight ended my summer youth group.  Each summer, I invite people to come and share their spiritual journeys.  I ask people from different walks of life who have very different journeys, and who are in very different places in their journey.  This gives my youth a picture of themselves- hopefully realizing they can find their path, they can stray and refind their path, and they can help others along their journey, also.
I enjoy these stories as much as the youth.  They give me new perspectives on people and help me realize new things about people.  It helps my youth to see that people they know as adults were once teens with real life issues and struggles.  So, I feel blessed that for the last few years I've been able to have people come and share and that I've never had a problem finding people to come share their journeys.
This summer was no different.  And, I am grateful to God and to each one of them for their gift to my youth.  Sharing their journeys were a blessing to my youth and I look forward to encouraging my youth to walk their own journey.  I am hoping as part of this, they will become more aware of their own walk with God. 
So, where was God?  He was at each meeting, giving my speakers the words to say that my youth needed to hear.
Blessings,
