Boy, it has been a bit busy this year! I thought December was a crazy season, but I've hit the ground running this year and have not stopped until today! I guess an all-nighter with the M-Pact girls will do that to you! Yes, I made it from 7:00 a.m. on Friday morning to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday without one iota of sleep. Then, I hit the bed until Saturday night at 6:00 p.m. And you guessed it, I then couldn't go to sleep Saturday night/Sunday morning until 2:00 a.m. So, not precious! However, it was worth it! The sleepover was a blast!!! The girls were great...the leaders were amazing...and all went well! I now can tell you the most amazing thing about being a Children's Pastor (thus far). It has taken me a couple of months to pinpoint the top thing I love most. It is the unmistakeable innoncence and openness of kids to hear the Word of God, take it in, absorb it, then run with it. I have stood back amazed over the last couple of weeks at the "childlike faith". My prayer for our kids is that they never lose that! My prayer for myself and the rest of the adults here and in Christianity in general is to find that "childlike faith" again and run with uninhibited abandonment into the arms of God. I want desperately for God's Spirit to pour through the church (each one of us) like never before. I want our kids to know, that they know, that they know, they have been to the thrown room of our Savior!
So, my prayer is for God's Spirit to move, be allowed to supercede our agendas. When the Spirit of God moves...lives will be changed...people will be drawn to the doors of our church to experience God! What an amazing, awesome, God we serve! To be serving Him each day is a blessing, but to be in His presence is breathtaking!
