Tonight was our 4th week in an 8 week series. Each week has a focus and a challenge for the week. Tonight I decided to start the discussion by reviewing the previous weeks and seeing what they remembered and what impact the discussions have made.
After a quick hint from 3 weeks ago, both groups were able to give me detailed descriptions of our discussions and then to share what things they have been using to help them since then. The series is 8 weeks of noticing God. They shared where they noticed Him, and kindnesses they have done. They each picked something to use as a reminder of God's love for them, an object, an action, or seeing a person. They were all able to share experiences doing that since the discussion 2 weeks ago. Last week, when I was at my conference, the pastor led the group. They shared the discussion and even remembered the scripture he told them.
There are days I wonder if they are listening or if what we talk about goes much beyond the time we are together. The nights like this help me realize I should know better. God is in control and He makes sure the words get where they need to be at the right time.
So, where was God today? He was in the acts of kindness, in the color blue, in the cats, in the German teacher, and every other thing that the youth picked as things to remind them consistently of God's love for them.
Blessings,
Jennifer
