Although our journey in Christ began many years ago, it seems that He is drawing us closer and closer everyday. What a journey it is! He is allowing us to step out of our comfort zones and live for Him daily instead of the selfish lives we did live.
God has changed our perspective on EVERYTHING: where we live, what we drive, the money we spend, how we serve...you name it, it has changed. God calls us to serve Him for His glory not our own. It is a hard concept to grasp especially when we look around and see that the world is full of SELF. Our daily prayer is to remove self and be consumed with Jesus!
This past week was full of new experiences. Jason and I have both always helped out with the high school students in the youth group so when it was brought up to me to lead the middle school girls for summer camp, I prayed a two second prayer then said "yes!" Yes it was out of my usual box that I am used to being in but God allowed me to get to know some AWESOME girls and learn from those girls! I learned some new lessons about worship and service!
Jason has bloomed TONS in the last two weeks. To watch him grow in Christ is amazing. It is literally like watching a flower unfold before my eyes. What a leader he has become...a very strong spiritual leader! Not to mention the surprising introduction of Billy Bob Leroy Jr III or "Bubba" for short to the youth group this week...and not just to the youth, but to the ENTIRE church body. Can you see him in this group picture in the red shirt? HILARIOUS!
