This one word pretty much sums up how I’ve been feeling the past few days. Every time I think that God has been good to me, he shows up once again, surprises me even more & proves Himself even MORE faithful and good. Dang, God- my heart is in awe of what you’ve done these past few days!
So, this past week I took my youth to a conference here in san diego. It wasn’t my favorite conference I’ve ever been to, BUT God still did an amazing work there through my kids. Friday night, the closing speaker gave the final altar call- & the vast majority of my group went down. As I looked over them, I saw my group huddled together, praying for each other. I felt the Holy Spirit urging me to go join them, so I went down & had the AWESOME privilege of praying for each of them individually. I saw my four varsity football players- huddled together, CRYING, & praying for each other. I had youth come up to me and tell me how much the Lord had used me to impact their lives already & how much they loved & appreciated me. & here I was going down there to pray for THEM! And then, finally, I got to talk to one of my football boys- who told me he accepted Jesus Christ as His personal savior!! Praise God! But, the best part of that- was seeing how joyful his friends were that he had officially become their brother in Christ! They were crying- they were so happy! It was the best experience of my life. Because, at that moment, I knew that this summer I am right where God wanted me to be & where He was already at work. I know that my work here has been ordained by Him & that there is a reason why I, Kathy Meriwether, am here at New Seasons- rather than anywhere else. It is such a humbling, amazing experience to be used by God & to see the fruit of that!! PRAISE THE LORD:)
Sorry that was kind of long… but basically guys, god is good. Other than that, I’ve just been loving life here in san diego… hanging out with the other interns- has been so solid & I praise god for each of them…
Tomorrow we’re headed to los angeles… to the price is right. Ha. Should be an adventure… as it always is with us. I’m pumped!
Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks!
be filled with JOY:)
