Sunday

This morning,  the youth shared inspiring stories about their summer experiences.  I love watching them poised and confident about their experiences and relationship with God.  They are an example of how we should all be-excited about telling others how God is working in our lives.
I also did something different this time. In the past, I had youth and sometimes a volunteer share. But, I had never had a parent share about the impact events had after their teens returned home. I always hear great things from the parents.  But, never had I heard a story so touching,  so compelling as one of the parents this summer.  I had to ask her to share a very personal story and luckily,  she agreed.  When she finished sharing,  there were not many dry eyes, including mine even though I had heard it before. Not only did she help others to understand the impact camp had made and God had made in her family's lives, but she also inspired some others to consider letting their special needs teens attend youth activities. It was an awesome message.
So, where was God today?  He gave those who spoke the words to say and the courage to say them.
Blessings,
Jennifer
