As my daily devotion time, I'm going to write, instead of read someone else's, daily miracles. My hope is, that by doing this, I will enrich my journey and awareness of God in the little things in my life and also encourage others to do the same. I encourage you to share your comments and stories of things that you encounter along your journey.
Blessings,
Jennifer

hard times

Last night,  I posted that our youth group time would be changed due to the memorial service for the high school football player that passed away.  We were scheduled to play a game that my youth love. We play it once a year and they have really been looking forward to it. But,  shortly after I posted the time change, I started getting comments from several youth.  They felt that it isn't the right time to play games.  They just want to spend time together and talk or just be. I am so proud of them for recognizing that.
After contemplating what to do Sunday night,  I got the idea to have prayer stations,  art supplies for expressing their emotions,  and areas where they can talk. I am hoping that they can use that time to learn how to work through their pain with God as their guide.  I would never wish this pain on them. But,  since they are in the midst of it, we might as well learn now how to look to God in the hard times.
So, where was God today? He gave me the ideas for Sunday night.
Blessings,
Jennifer
