The girl TL's and myself. Loved doing Lime school with them! |
Lime Lime Lime Lime Lime |
And can I just say: IT'S AWESOME! I love pouring into new people; learning where they come from; meeting where they are in life and continuing for a week. Hearing how they pour out, and encouraging them in the process is epic. Being here with BVBC as a leader with our girls is wonderful because most of them I got to teach while they were in the kids ministry; what a cool sight to experience.. I am 'adulting' hard core this week!
Our lime school staff is SOLID. 6 guys and myself. All 6 of them are employed at a church/BSU... and then me. (Yes-it was intimidating at first.) I've gotten to know them all, see and hear their ways of teaching, and have them encourage me through my first time teaching a lesson. I got the privilege of teaching a session for lime school; Nehemiah 6. Bringing the Word of God to a bunch of eager high schoolers is a one in a million experience. To know I am truly just being used by Him for the teaching of His word; having a new reality of God that was experienced and loved. Not even in a 'church high' type thing, but more of a practically speaking, doing something new means a new realm of God to explore. Then, that night also with my first round of leading worship; surprise! So thankful for Nathan to encourage me and trust me with that; equally as awesome. Thankful for lime school as a whole for being so uplifting to my soul during, and after. 2 for 1 firsts happened in one day and man it was a lot. New realms of God have been experienced and I am overwhelmed at 2 things.
All the TL's. What a stellar crew. |
1) the vastness of Christ and how intimate He is with us.
2) the vastness of Satan and how intimate he wants to be with Christs people.
That one time the power went out and Jared kept going. Oh. Yeah. |
Satan wants so bad to win. The attack is incredible. If this is what it's like to be a youth pastor/music pastor/senior pastor, then wow. A whole new level of interaction with God has had to happen moment-by-moment. I'm thankful for the opportunity to lead and saddened over how my heart can be so full of joy, yet so quickly full of deceit. The balance of I didn't choose this but still am in charge of seeking recovery is one that is still overwhelming, and one that I am still figuring out day by day.
We accidentally unintentionally assigned seats, and these were the people I did lime school with personally! |
Disciples making disciples making disciples.
What a picture of the Church.
My attempt at a selife with the BVBC group. |
