Last night was great fun. I have never seen an egg smashed on a person's head and we had the privilege last night to see not one, not two, but three people with egg dripping down their face. Thank you three for being so brave and willing to sacrifice yourself for the cause!! I hope we do understand from that lesson that we all fall short of perfection, we can never be perfect in the way that God wants us to be. Whether we sin once or a million times, that separates us from a perfect and holy God. That is why it is so great that God sent His Son Jesus down on this earth. Hopefully over the next few weeks we'll be able to fully understand the sacrifice that God made by sending Jesus to die for us. It is far bigger, far more important than any of us can ever imagine. I hope you all are having an uber wonderful time at JAM. Can't wait for next week. It was eggs on the head this week, what will it be next???
What a night. I'm always so stoked when I go home from JAM. It's just been incredible to spend time with everyone, learning about God's Word together and just having fun spraying silly string in each other's faces. It's just so cool to see how many people are willing to step up and help too. All of the leaders have just been great, I love you all for doing what you are doing. Even some of you guys are doing great helping out, whether it's moving chairs after JAM is over or helping call out names at the end of the night. I think a lot of adults can learn so much from you guys by just watching what you do. After everyone had left tonight, I just stopped and knelt down by the stage and just thanked God for all of you. You make such a difference in my life and I love to be with you. I want so badly for you to love Jesus and learn more about Him and JAM is the perfect place for you to do just that so I'm so glad that you're all into it. God is so overwhelming... this is the song that popped into my head tonight...
... JAM rules! Thank you so much for making JAM so awesome.
Also I had a prayer request that I wanted you guys to pray for... I just found out that Sarah Morton, who came to Xtreme Sports Camp in the summer, has a tumor on her spine. She is such an awesome girl and my heart hurt bad when I read that tonight. Would you guys please pray for Sarah's healing and for her family? God can do all things and I know He can heal Sarah... keep praying!!
First Wednesday was awesome as usual last night. I hear the whole night out in the auditorium was great, watching those five guys get ordained to be pastors must have been cool. Ordination is just a fancy word for the church recognizing those guys as pastors of the church. I saw them lay hands on them and pray for them which was great. I was in Cove Kids holding babies... I learned some new things about babies yesterday: First, if you squish their cheeks, they will stare at you as if you are Godzilla. Two, once you hold a baby, you are attached to that baby until their parents come. I found that if I put them down, they would start crying... I can't do crying babies. Number three, if you put babies in a stroller and run after Ross with them, they will stop crying, that was wonderful. See, you always learn incredible new things every day. Plus I got to eat the most cheese I have ever seen at Brickhouse yesterday, so all in all, things were good. Hope you didn't miss JAM too much, it will be back before you know it. How is everyone's quiet time (Dig In time) going? I hope everything is making sense as you are reading and journaling!
You're going to be hearing a lot of the phrase, "Whatever," in the next couple months. We're starting a new series during the weekends called "Whatever." It's based on Philippians 4:8 where Paul tells us of the different things that we should think about (look it up). It should be pretty sweet if I do say so myself... here is a never before seen sneak peak for this weekend:
Hope to see you all this weekend!
