So many awesome things have happened since I last wrote. I haven't forgotten to look for God daily even though my writing has been sporadic. Lately, my spare time in the evening has been spent pouring over details for my youth events coming up next week. It really is funny how much time I spend working on the schedule for my 30 hour famine. From the moment I start planning I am fully aware that it will change continually until the famine is over. Tonight I was talking to one of my youth and she asked specifically if we were doing the random acts of kindness again. This was obviously one of the most impactful things to her. The funny thing is that was never on the schedule last year. But, one of the few snowstors we had last year came on the 2nd day of the famine and everything I had planned went out the window. Luckily, my pastor had the great idea to do random acts of kindness and it became an awesome part of our weekend.
I know God has great plans for us again this year. So, I think I am done working on my famine schedule and will just let God handle it from here. I am pretty sure He has been handling it this far. I am excited to be doing it during good Friday. But I was struggling with how to tie it all in together- Good Friday, starving, helping others, etc. Then I looked at my schedule. What I had put down as random activities were actually in perfect order to transition from one to the other and I even had videos I had watched a long time ago that talk about all of it. That wasn't me-that was Him.
I had 1/2 as many signed up a week ago. Now I have more than last year. And, I have new adults doing the famine, too. That means new relationships between the youth and congregation.
Over the next 2 weeks, I will be spending time with the youth and helping them to look for God's plan for their lives. We will be talking about where we see God each day. So, whether I am able to write or not, I know God will be present., as He always is.
So, where was God today? He is guiding me as I prepare to create the event He wants me to have.
Blessings,
