so let me tell you about last night:)
i went to my friend mallory's church for her lock in. She hasn't exactly had the most amazing turnout yet this summer... so we literally were expecting 4 girls. But.... we ended up with 4 girls PLUS 10 guys. Ha. so after a bit of rearranging & food purchasing & male chaperone finding... we ended up having a great night.
let me introduce you to gustavo. he is like 14 & awesome... & has these incredible piercings below his mouth...which kinda made me want some more piercings.... ha:) jokes (maybe)! anyways, he was really mature for his age & so he hung out with me, keiron, & mal all night. throughout the night we could tell he was curious about Christianity- so we kept on talking to him about the Lord as much as possible. anyways, so i go to sleep at like 5- mallory stays up & talks to him & shares her personal testimony.... then keiron wakes up this morning & following the holy spirit's urging... presents the gospel to gustavo. & he accepted Christ & wants to be baptized! praise God! We weren't even expecting more than 4 kids, had never met gustavo, were totally unprepared for the night...but yet- god is faithful & gustavo got to meet Jesus at a lock-in!
I'm just so encouraged & inspired by the way keiron & mal followed the urging of the holy spirit. i reallllly want the opportunity to introduce some youth this summer to Christ. I pray that i have that chance! God give me the words to say & the wisdom when to say it:) Use me this summer!
So, that was my night... other than that- this week was alright. I've gotta be honest, I feel so inadequate to teach & lead a group of 40 youth. I honestly have nothing to offer them but Jesus in me... I just have to remember that He in me is more than enough.... !
Well, tonight is going to be a busy night full of british comedies with Norma & her daughter Jane! I just can't wait:) i truly am living the life!
be filled with JOY:)
