I arrived to the conference center with the group of youth and adults. We had some scheduling things to figure out and then it was time for devotions. I love devotion time during youth events. Coming together at the end of the day, spending time focusing and reflecting always brings a perfect end to the day. Since it was our first night, we started with introductions and a "fun fact". As we went around the circle, I saw people make connections and find others with similaritiez. We then discussed our fo us scripture for the weekend. We divided into groups and had some questions to discuss. My group, as well as other groups I overheard, were talking about their faith, their lives, their struggles, and their peers.
As we were in the midst of devotion time, I thought about all the youth who were so devoted. It struck me that school had just ended for the summer. These youth had a chance to sleep in, hang out with friends, or do whatever they wanted during their first week of summer break. But, what did they choose to do? They came to worship, lead, learn, make decisions, and share their faith. The theme of the conference was world changers. By making the choice, they were well on their way to being world changers already!
So, where was God today? I saw him more times than I can mention in these young leaders!
Blessings,
Jennifer
