Learn to look through the dark days.

– John North – Ambassadors for Christ -Australia

 

What is dark? Having very little or no light

not being able to see, also could be ignorance

 

How do I touch teens ? …I don’t . JESUS DOES!

How is it that a person can be so very affected by the look on a kids face, the noninterest, the boredom, the inattentiveness, the non participation?

What is the Something? What is the More?

It is Jesus Christ in You! in Me!

How do you translate to a teen that this is to be celebrated?

I am holding on to this scripture :

Psalm 23:4 

Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

The Rod : used to protect me against enemies, to discipline me, to guide me, and to rescue me.

The Staff: a symbol of authority

He has got this!

No matter what He is in control.

There is nothing to fear!!

Funny how God will test you when you see something in you as a strength just to remind you that it is HIS STRENGTH in me.

The plus…

The teens on the worship team are very excited about the worship night we have scheduled for camp fundraising…should be a real cool time!
