Well...here we go. It's summer time, which means we're off and running in student ministry. We had our sr. high cookout/swimming party sunday night and this friday is our jr. high lock-in at group dynamix.
I am really excited about this summer. There are lots of things planned, but I'm really looking forward to seeing our students learn what it means to really serve others and grow into the leaders that I believe they have the potential to be.
My oldest daughter is in Florida right now. I have to say....I'm a little nervous about her being gone for a week away from us. I miss her. Each of our kids just bring so much life to our house and when one is gone.....there is a hole in our family.
I think that's what it must be like when God watches us go in and out of our relationship with him. One day we're in and one day we're out. One day we want to follow with everything we have, and one day we wimp out and follow our own desires.
I would drive to Florida in a heartbeat to rescue my daughter from any kind of danger she may face. I'd walk on my knees if I knew it was the only way to get there.......
God sent his only son to die for us.....in spite of who we are. I've known that truth for more than 25 years......and there is nothing that amazes me more every day than that kind of love.
I'm out....
