There’s Something About…

…seeing a 15 year old boy stand up, eyes closed, and raise his hands to the sky to worship his Savior.

…listening to a boatload (literally) of kids sing to the Lord “I’m so unworthy, but still you love me.  Forever my heart will sing of how great you are.”

…hearing a group of teenage girls befriend a girl who doesn’t fit in and invite her to play cards with them in their cabin.

…watching a man pray fervently for God to move…and then seeing God answer.

…seeing “grown-ups” be wild and crazy, and teenagers be worshipful and authentic.

…seeing hand after hand after hand lift up in praise, and knowing it reflects heart after heart after heart.

…watching a young boy stand, find his friends, gather them together and lead them in communion.

…seeing the joy on the face of someone who has just emerged from the water after being baptized.

…watching the countenance change on the face of a boy who has just found his Savior.

There is something about all of these things that brings tears to my eyes and makes my heart want to burst.  Our God is so good.

    ok…I’m am crying now. What a great week ! I feel so blessed to have been able to be a part of it…even if I was just “craft lady”. I loved it! Yes, Yes, Yes to all the things you said…God is so good! It revives my own heart for the Lord, seeing him change lives before our eyes.

    My fave moments were (all those you mentioned) plus-

    Watching a leader really love a girl who is not easy to love during craft time
    Watching a homeless girl lead her new friends in a Hula telling the creation story…and everyone absolutely falling in love with her.
    I too LOVED watching the young man lead his friends in communion.
    Seeing a leader absolutely stunned at what God has done in her small group
    So many wonderful moments!
